Speaking about Caloian.Dreptul Valah,
Kaloyan
Interesting Kaloyan remember us Caloianul, witch is a popular practice in Romania to bring rain. Caloianul was the soil sent by men to the god of the rain, to persuade him to unravel the rains. Thus, during the drought, the girls and women in the country made a small yellow clay (called "Caloian") that they put in a coffin and which they thought of as a dead man, imitating the funeral ritual. The women were singing a specific poem, then buried the man in the clay near a well. Three days later they dug it up and threw it on the water to disturb the waters and clouds, as it does before it rains. On Caloian's day, the men were only pending until noon, and the rest of the day they were spending.
Does Caloian Ioniță sound like a Bulgarian name to you? :lol:
