We can discover similarities between Romanian and American behaviors with the arrival of Easter: both are animated by the same care to fully experience the joy of Christ's resurrection, by the feeling of rebirth of nature, by the desire for renewal (even the effort of manifesting this impulse by wearing new clothes is something they have in common), and by the need to share the joy of being together, to communicate in order to be in communion, to open up entirely.
