White Wednesday in Holy Week has a special meaning for Christians. It is also called “Holy Miecuri” and is the first day after Easter.
Tradition says that no hunting is done in the fields on this day, which has led to the popular name of the day “the wedding of mice”. This is because the women who work in the fields today attract mice into the house and would bring bad luck for the rest of the year. The custom is still observed by many Christians.
In addition, Wednesday and Friday are marked with “maps”, that is, although it is normally must day, in this week there is no ban on sweet foods. It is a moment of culinary joy, where the faithful can feast on selected dishes.
During Bright Week, the Psalter is not recited and no memorial service is held for the deceased, services being resumed after Thomas Sunday.
Funeral ceremonies this week are conducted according to a special schedule and emphasize the victory of Life over death.
Bright Week is also known as Holy Week or Easter of the Dead.
It is also believed that during that period, the heavens are open, and those who die go directly to Heaven, the doors of hell being closed.
