DECEMBER 1 - Romania National Day

Posted in Labels: | at 1:52 PM




Great Union Day



Great Union Day (Romanian: Ziua Marii Uniri, also called Unification Day) occurring on December 1, is the national holiday of Romania. It commemorates the assembly of the delegates of ethnic Romanians held in Alba Iulia, which declared the Union of Transylvania with Romania.

This holiday was set after the 1989 Romanian Revolution and it marks the unification of Transylvania, but also of the provinces of Bessarabia and Bukovina with the Romanian Kingdom, in 1918.

All around the country, the national day is an opportunity to remember The National Gathering that took place in Alba Iulia in 1918 where Romanians from all over the country united, after centuries of struggle.
