Drăgaica is celebrated by a dance performed by a group of 5–7 young girls of which one is chosen as ''the Drăgaica''. She is dressed as a [[bride]], with wheat wreath, while the other girls, dressed in white wear a veil with [[Galium verum|bedstraw]] flowers. Midsummer fairs are held in many Romanian villages and cities. The oldest and best known midsummer fair in Romania is the [[Drăgaica fair]], held in [[Buzău]] between 10 and 24 June every year. There are many superstitions related to this day, particularly those involving marriage or death. The term Sânziene originates in the Latin "Sancta Diana", and superstitions relating to this day are mainly romantic in nature, referring to young girls and their marriage prospects.{{cn|date=May 2024}}
