Prima luni din a doua saptamana dupa Pasti se mai numeste Lunea Mortilor, Pastele Mortilor, Pastile Mici, Pastele Rohmanilor, Pastele Blajinilor sau Matcalaul ...
De Pastele Blajinilor se crede ca sufletele mortilor sunt slobode; de aceea in aceasta zi se gatesc multe si alese bucate, impartindu-se pe la vecini, cu credinta ca mortii numai in aceasta zi sunt liberi si pot gusta din mancarurile pregatite. La cine nu serbeaza si nu da mortilor de pomana vin mortii noaptea si le cer. In unele tinuturi se impart doar oua si colaci saracilor si se face slujba la cimitir. De Pastele Blajinilor au loc sarbatori campenesti, unde se mananca oua rosii si incondeiate. Se crede ca Blajinii se bucura tare mult vazandu-i pe oameni ca petrec la aceasta sarbatoare...

The myth of the Blajini

As Romanians generally perceived the earth as a disc, they were naturally creative enough to imagine what existed on the other side. This other earth is imagined as a mirror image of our own, and as a home to creatures called Blajini [blaˈʒinʲ] ("gentle/kind-hearted ones"), sometimes given the name Rohmani [ˈroh.manʲ] in Bucovina. They are described as anthropomorphic and short, sometimes having the head of a rat. They are either described as malicious or as having great respect for God and leading a sinless life. They are considered to fast the year through, and thus doing humans a great service.[7]

The Romanian holiday Paştele Blajinilor (the Easter of the Blajini) is a way to repay them for the benefits they bring. Since they live in isolation, they have no way of knowing when Easter comes. It is for this reason that Romanians eat dyed eggs and let the shells flow downstream, from there they believe they will get to the Apa Sâmbetei, and from there to the Blajini.[8]

Some explain them as the descendants of Adam's son Seth. Others state that they used to live alongside humans on the earth, but that Moses, seeing his people oppressed by them, parted the waters and, after he and his people had retreated to safety, poured the waters back onto them, sending them to their current abode.[9]
Blajinii nu sunt morti!
