It is a feast of spring, love and joy. It is a feast of lovers, because in the past, at the romanian villages, the youngers used to go to the nearby meadows to pick spring flowers (it is believed that these flowers picked on this day should be kept at a holy icon until 24th June on Lady Bedstraw's Feast). They came back at home at lunch and the boy who liked a girl chased her, and if the girl also liked him, she let the boy to kiss her. Hence the words "Dragobete kiss the girl".
