The tradition in Romania is for children to travel
from house to house singing carols and reciting poetry and legends
throughout the Christmas season. The leader carries a large wooden star
called a steaua, which is covered with shiny paper and decorated with
bells and colored ribbon. A picture of the Holy Family is pasted in the
star's center, and the entire creation is attached to a broomstick or
stout pole.
