ESN UniBucharest

👀 You’ve probably seen them everywhere by now, but what are they? If you haven’t already, here is your sign to try them!

💡Did you know they are called “Mucenici”? [moo-cheh-NEECH] They come in two different versions, both equally delicious.

🧁 They are a Romanian sweet tradition shaped like the figure “8” which represents either the human shape of the martyrs or, in some interpretations, a symbol of infinity and union with the Cosmos, in alignment with the myth of the Heaven Gates opening.

📝 Here are a few recommendations of places where you can try Mucenici in Bucharest.
Mucenici Moldovenești (Baked) here:
- Boutique du Pain
- Ana Pan
- Scovergăria Micăi
- Nobo
- Savoarea Dulcelui
- Miez
- Bakings
- Grain Trip
- Casa del Pan
- House of Cravings
- Livrez Fericire
- Love at first bite
Mucenici Muntenești (Soup) here:
- Zelateria
Both here:
- Balls

🌸✨ Welcome Spring the Romanian Way – Happy Mărțișor!✨
Beginning today, March 1st, Romania celebrates one of its most beautiful traditions: Mărțișor! ❤️🤍

Mărțișor marks the arrival of spring and symbolizes renewal, hope, and new beginnings. On this day, people offer small tokens tied with a red and white string to friends, colleagues, and loved ones.

🤍 Whiterepresents purity and new beginnings
❤️ Red symbolizes love, energy, and life

These little charms are worn throughout March as a sign of good luck and are traditionally kept until you see the first blooming tree 🌳🌸 — then you tie the string to a branch to make a wish!
