High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Christmas in Romania is a major annual celebration, as in most countries of the Christian world. The observance of Christmas was introduced once with the Christianization of Romania but it was then interrupted during the Communist period (1948—1989), as concepts as religion, Jesus Christ or the Church were banned. In the post-communist Romania, Christmas started being celebrated again more festively. The Christmas and holiday season starts officially on November 30, on Saint Andrew`s day and ends on January 7, with the celebration of Saint John. Other major holidays in this period are Great Union Day, Saint Nicholas day, Saint Ignatius day, Christmas eve, Christmas Day, Saint Stephen day, New Year`s Eve (named Revelion in Romania), and the Epiphany.
