bears from Agăş

I present to you the Bears

from the Folkloric Ensemble MUGURAŞII from the village of Agăş, Bacau county

from Romania, they came to my city to participate in the Festival of Christmas Customs and Customs and the New Year “Tudor Pamfile

organized by the Galaţi County Council and the Cultural Center "Danube de Down ”in partnership with the Archdiocese of the Lower Danube on December 21 and 22, 2019


Over a thousand artists from five areas of the country came, who in the evening of 21 performed at the Dramatic Theater “Fani Tradini” dozens of carols and many games traditions for the end of year celebrations.


On December 22,

the festival continued on the esplanade of the Archbishop’s Cathedral,

photos and videos about new bears @user_not_found

Here is a short film with the bears at the cathedral

Here the bears were training, @Austinelewex

Here you can see how the bears go to the show

Here you can see the show of the bears on the stage of the theater

where the hierarch of the place, the High Priest Casian Archbishop of the Lower Danube, of the officials, as well as the people present at the Holy Liturgy took place.

Pictures and filming are done in both locations
They all performed very well, but I chose bears as the main topic.


The children who played the bear dance come from a mountainous region where hundreds of bears live, their ancestors practiced animal breeding, this practice is still practiced today, but less so than in the past.

I make a little point.
Bears’ fur is inherited and comes from past hunts.
The bear is currently protected by law, no longer shot.
People in those areas have been living with wild animals all the time, as they have developed special breeds of dogs for guarding and protecting herds. These dogs instinctively patrol the day and night and drive away any intruder, whether it’s a bear of several hundred kilos or a pack of wolves.

will answer simple questions if you have one

Hello @To_paul . thanks for the lovely post and explanation. I haven’t yet watch the videos through the link. Will do the same as soon as possible. Here is a quick question. How do train dogs chase Bears and Pack of wolves out? I thought in reality Bears are far stronger than Dogs.

Another question @To_paul . Those people that live in the mountainous areas in your country, do they speak the same Romanian Language as you?

@Austinelewex the shepherds have more dogs attacking in the pack on the bear, one on the back, another on the side, another on the front, and the bear runs in the forest

Very nice documentary @To_paul . I enjoyed seeing all the videos. It is so beautiful of you so take much a time to show us in details how this bear festival is done. Thank you so much my dear Friend. The bear fur must be really expensive because it is not synthetic. I love it that these animals are now protected by law to preserve them for the future generations. Thanks once again. Kudos
