spiritual and ethno-folkloric traditions.
Although modern constructions progressively
replaced the old and traditional ones, the atmosphere in Marginimea Sibiului
remained unaltered. The festive costumes of a rare elegance, embroidered in black
and white, are proudly worn during the holidays and the crafts inherited from
generation to generation are still practiced nowadays with great success.
