Săpânţa

Guía de viajes

'This stillness is a big part of the Maramureş lifestyle; being able to experience it actually means understanding a way of life that has been passed on from one generation to the next and these people’s take on life is as surprising as their take on death.
The best place for us to experience that was Săpânţa, a small yet cozy village close to the Ukrainian border. What makes the inhabitants of Maramureş so special, in the end? Well, for starters, they even have a cemetery making a fool of… death. Yes, death. Stepping into the Merry Cemetery made it clear. This cemetery has mainly started as the creation of sculptor Stan Ioan Pătraş, whose legacy endured after his death, with artists who continued his beautiful work, using the same vibrant blue – the Săpânţa blue, together with other vivid colors to illustrate the resilience of the miracle of life before the big end. There are important scenes from the lives of those buried here painted on over 800 tombstones. And if this isn’t impressive enough, there are epitaphs underneath each painting summarizing the life of the deceased or depicting the circumstances of the passing, with traditional Romanian motifs found in each epitaph.'
