The first Wednesday of Easter Lent is called Crooked Wednesday or Beautiful Wednesday. This day has a legend.
The legend of the first day of Wednesday from the FOTO Radio Romania post
It is said that there are 24 customs that the soul passes through on its way to heaven. If “you guarded Maundy Wednesday,” Holy Wednesday helps you pass through all customs with ease, according to Radio Romania.
Cazne are not only here on earth, cazne are also on the way of Dalbulu Călător until they settle down in the place of peace and greenery. Every customs is an attempt. The coins thrown at the crossroads on the way to the “house with three windows” help to pay the customs, and Holy Wednesday, if Crooked Wednesday was observed, makes crossings easier!
But, the old women say, when you break the rules you get a sign from Above. Whoever doesn't observe Maundy Wednesday has a crooked mouth. It's said: “I twisted his mouth, took his mouth!”
According to popular tradition, today there is no washing of clothes and no rejoicing in any way. Whoever purrs, out of forgetfulness, in the evening, it is better to make a rag doll and throw it in the crossroads, let its mouth twist.
Crooked Wednesday is also known as Beautiful Wednesday. It is the day when girls make themselves beautiful, in the belief that they will be like that in a year.
Easter 2024 is celebrated on May 5.
