The famous Black Church in Brasov, Transylvania. Named because of a fire that charred its walls black, the church is one the largest medieval churches in Eastern Europe. It is the burial place of humanist and protestant reformer Johannes Honterus. As well as implementing the Lutheran reforms in Transylvania, he was an influential cartographer and publisher of maps. #Transylvania #blackchurch #romania

This extraordinary discovery of manuscripts, books, and documents offers a rare glimpse into the intellectual and cultural life of medieval Romania."

February 24th is the #Transylvania feast of #Dragobete, god of Love, Spring, snowdrops and wolves. Parents: #Dacia 's loveliest maiden & Roman Emperor #Trajan, who conquered the #Dacian empire. The wolf is Rome. It's said if you hug anyone today, your love life will be fabulous all year! Start hugging!
Just practising for my visit to Transylvania, coming up in June. I shall stand in the main square upon arrival in Braşov and speak these immortal words.

"For Aqua, her background in klezmer is both a problem and a generative source for her imaginative creativity. Klezmer, as a form of 'traditional music' is in a permanent state of partialness and is missing elements that Aqua seeks, and that she has taken active steps to find in related folk art forms."
