Cimitirul Vesel din Săpânța - Merry Cemetery of Săpânța✔

➤ROM “Cimitirul Vesel este un cimitir din localitatea Săpânța, județul Maramureș, faimos pentru crucile mormintelor viu colorate și picturile naive reprezentând scene din viața și ocupația persoanelor înhumate. Pe unele cruci există chiar versuri în care sunt amintite, deseori cu nuanțe umoristice, persoanele respective.
Ineditul acestui cimitir este diferențierea față de cultura populară, care consideră moartea ca un eveniment trist. S-a făcut ipoteza că Stan Ioan Pătraș s-ar fi inspirat din cultura dacilor, despre care, de la Ovid Densușianu încoace, se predă că socoteau moartea ca un eveniment vesel. Din 1935 datează primul epitaf, iar din anii 1960 încoace, întreg cimitirul a fost populat cu circa 800 astfel de cruci, sculptate din lemn de stejar, devenind un muzeu în aer liber de natură unică și o atracție turistică.
Din anul 2009, cimitirul este obiectivul festivalului anual „Drumul Lung spre Cimitirul Vesel”.
Unele cruci sunt pictate pe ambele părți. Pe o parte este plasată o descriere a vieții celui îngropat, iar pe cealaltă - o descriere a motivului morții. Majoritatea crucilor sunt scrise cu greșeli de ortografie și variante arhaice de scriere.”

➤ENG “The Merry Cemetery (Romanian: Cimitirul Vesel ) is a cemetery in the village of Săpânța, Maramureş county, Romania. It is famous for its colourful tombstones with naïve paintings describing, in an original and poetic manner, the people who are buried there as well as scenes from their lives. The Merry Cemetery became an open-air museum and a national tourist attraction.
The unusual feature of this cemetery is that it diverges from the prevalent belief, culturally shared within European societies - a belief that views death as something indelibly solemn. Connections with the local Dacian culture have been made, a culture whose philosophical tenets presumably vouched for the immortality of the soul and the belief that death was a moment filled with joy and anticipation for a better life (see also Zalmoxianism).
Funny epitaphs
➤Romanian
Sub această cruce grea
Zace biata soacră-mea
Trei zile de mai trăia
Zăceam eu și cetea ea.
Voi care treceți pă aici
Incercați să n-o treziți
Că acasă dacă vine
Iarăi cu gura pă mine
Da așa eu m-oi purta
Că-napoi n-a înturna
Stai aicea dragă soacră-mea
➤English
Under this heavy cross
Lies my poor mother-in-law
Three more days should she have lived
I would lie, and she would read (this cross).
You, who here are passing by
Not to wake her up please try
Cause' if she comes back home
She'll criticize me more.
But I will surely behave
So she'll not return from the grave.
Stay here, my dear mother-in-law!”
