The Very Merry Cemetery in Sapanta, Romania
Now in the region of Maramures in Northwest Romania (bordering the Ukraine in the north), villages had unique wooden churches with tall spires, ornate, carved gates, and Sapanta had the Merry Cemetery or Happy Cemetery, unlike any other you'll ever see.
Sapanta ancestors considered death a beginning, not the end, and this faith was reflected in the carvings made by Sculptor Stan Ion Patras, who began carving these croses in 1935.
Each one tells a story. What the person liked to do. A little about their life, and even how they died! The bright blue crosses depicted car accidents, electrocution, whether or not the dead person was a child, and so on. One thing is for sure, tourists will never forget the brightly colored Merry Cemetery...
Discovering Săpânța, Romania: The Merry Cemetery

-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-
The Merry Cemetery in Săpânța, Romania is a unique cemetery worldwide. It's a mixture of culture and traditional ways that are still done the same way today. One thing that we really liked was that it's a celebration of the lives, sometimes with humor, and each marker is carved individually. The cemetery is located in north Romania, in the Maramureș County, in the small village of Săpânța.

Romania (#08): Merry Cemetery in Sapanta
Lying on the banks of the Tisa, the river that forms the frontier with Ukraine, towered over by the Carpathian Mountains, Sapanta is a commune with five thousand inhabitants, not much different from others in Maramures, a province in northern Romania.
A God-forsaken region where access is difficult, Maramures has long been kept outside great transformations. This relative isolation helps us understand why even to this day the area's inhabitants have preserved an extraordinary bond to their land, an extreme spirit of independence, a pattern of life, and strictly observed traditions.
Several kids gracing a family is a token of good luck. Each member of the family has/his her own responsibilities: the woman to the domestic chores, the little children to the garden, the husband tends the animals and works in the forest, the boys guard animals, the girls help in the house and learn to weave, spin and embroider at their ma's knee. The inhabitants of Sapanta strictly obey the traditions of the Orthodox religion and are fervent believers. It is a duty, even an honor, to be part of the church committee.
A Very Merry Cemetery
One of the most memorable sights in Romania is the Merry (as in joyful) Cemetery. I’ve enjoyed a variety of graveyards throughout Europe. But this one, in Maramureș, is really a one of a kind. Here’s how we described it in our script:
Just up the road is the Merry — as in joyful — Cemetery. In 1935, a local woodcarver — inspired by a long-forgotten tradition — began filling this cemetery with a forest of vivid memorials. Each one comes with a whimsical poem and a painting of the departed doing something he or she loved.
Even if you can't read the poems, the images speak volumes: weaver ... loved bikes ... television repairman ... soldier ... hit by a car ... struck by lightning ... nagging mother-in-law.
It’s a poignant celebration of each individual's life, a chronicle of village history, and an irreverent raspberry in the face of death. And it's all painted a cheery blue to match the heavens where the souls are headed.
This is Day 58 of my 100 Days in Europe series. As I research my guidebooks and make new TV shows, I’m reporting on my experiences and lessons learned in Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Bulgaria, Romania, and beyond. Find more at
'Merry Cemetery' makes visitors laugh and cry

A cemetery in Romania is giving visitors the chance to laugh in the face of death.
STORYLINE:
Life lives on after death in this Romanian cemetery, where the departed sadden but also entertain and educate visitors with tales of their lives.
The Merry Cemetery in the north-western Romanian village of Sapanta is a collection of more than 1,000 vivid Orthodox crosses decorated with colourful epitaphs and naive drawings.
Despite its remote location some 600 kilometres (360 miles) north-west of the Romanian capital, Bucharest, it's one of the country's top tourist attractions.
There are few secrets in this small community - whatever flaws a person had when they were alive are turned into 'grave art' when they die.
Some of the crosses are like modern-day morality tales.
One warns the living about the perils of working too hard, seen through the eyes of deceased truck driver, Corompelu.
I used to work to be wealthy and I had to leave everything behind. I wish for people to stop and read this on my cross, it says. Here's what happened: the truck rolled over and the dirt smothered me. I died in Barcelona in 2002 when I was 42 years old.''
In 1935, local wood sculptor Stan Ioan Patras came up with the idea of engraving epitaphs and simple drawings onto crosses, and went on to craft a total of 700 crosses until his death in 1977.
His grave simply calls him the creator of the Merry Cemetery.
His legacy is continued by sculptor Dumitru Pop Tincu, now aged 62.
I've seen what touches (tourists). This cemetery... is not just a cemetery. People realised that this indeed is a place where you can laugh at death itself, he says.
Tincu does all the work himself, but he is aware that one day he will have to take on an apprentice who will succeed him, as he did with Patras.
Youngsters are interested (in the job) and there are good kids, there are many of them but, out of all of them, no matter how many, only one will be the chosen one.
This job has three aspects, you have to be a sculptor, a painter and a poet. If one does not touch these three bases he can't follow and do this job. The one (chosen) needs to be gifted for such a job.
This multi-layered approach is rooted in the traditional peasant culture of the region. Visitors from other countries may not fully understand the humour, but they are intrigued by it.
While the crosses are brightly coloured and the messages written in a casual, tongue in cheek way many are starkly sad.
One of the drawings features a young man and a subway carriage - the man was run over by a train.
It reads: I enjoyed life so much, I went to western Europe; may it be cursed along with the Paris metro. I used to be a gambler, and I died in 2001 when I was 16 years old.
Another shows a picture of a boy under a train carriage, the epitaph reads:
My name was Pop Ioan, I lay here after death found me under the wheels of the train. I was playing and I was cut by the carriage. Mum you'll cry for me as long as you live. I was only 10 years old and I went under the dirt. I caused you so much pain.
These German tourists are taking in the rows of intricately carved blue, yellow, green and red crosses, looking at the cartoon-like drawings and poems written in a language used by locals.
Romanian-born Werner Kloos who lives in Landshut, Germany, says that the epitaphs, while often similar, all are different from one another.
I haven't seen anything like this anywhere in my life. That's why I was telling all my friends that have an opportunity, to come and visit this cemetery in Sapanta.
Gerhard Schuster, who lives in Kempten, southern Germany, says he remembers his parents talking about this unusual spot.

The Merry Cemetery of Sapanta, Romania
The Merry Cemetery of Sapanta in the province of Maramure is one of the most picturesque places in Romania. It is notable for its colorful tombstones with naïve paintings describing, in an original and poetic manner, the persons that are buried there as well as portrait scenes from their lives or with a drawing depicting a scene from the life of the deceased. Thus we find farmers, carpenters, shepherds, artisans, among many scenes depicting symbolic or beautiful life of the deceased. The Merry Cemetery became an open-air museum and a national tourist attraction. The Merry Cemetery owes its name to the vivid colors of headers that are naively painted scenes narrating the biography of the deceased. The sentences are sometimes lyrical, sometimes ironic, but always sincere. The Merry Cemetery of Sapanta, called Popular Art Museum is a pride, unique community in the world.
This curious initiative started in 1935 and has continued til today, The cemetery's origins are linked with the name of Stan Ioan Patras, a local artist who sculpted the first tombstone crosses. In 1960, 800 sculpted crosses and headstones were counted and after the death of Stan Patras Ionas in 1977, other local artists have continued their work. The Patras himself is buried in the Merry Cemetery gravestone that reflects you as it was with the following epitaph —
Since I was a little boy
I was known as Stan Ion Patras
Listen to me, fellows
There are no lies in what I am going to say
All along my life
I meant no harm to anyone
But did good as much as I could
To anyone who asked
Oh, my poor World
Because It was hard living in it

Cimitirul Vesel - SAPANTA - The Merry Cemetery (Maramures County, Romania)
Enable English subtitle ! - Activați subtitrarea în românește !
The Săpânţa village (in Maramures County, Romania) fame comes from his famous Merry Cemetery which has become an internationally recognized tourist attraction. The novelty of the Merry Cemetery is the rejection of traditional culture that considers death as a sad event. Speculation on the subject go in ancestral, to Dacian ancestors, who had a joyful attitude towards death. The Merry Cemetery beginning date back to 1935 when the folk artist Stan Ioan Patras (1908-1977) made the first crosses. These have a brightly painted bas-relief, representing a crucial scene from the life of the buried persons. The crosses are made of oak, and background color is named Blue Săpânţa. Some crosses are painted on both sides, on the one hand have a description of the life of the buried, the other cause of death. No cross was not complete without an epitaph, a short poem between 7 - 17 lyrics with simple rhymes. Most of the lyrics are written with spelling errors and use expressions or variations of old writing. Epitaphs are spontaneous, often satirical and are written in the first person, with messages from the deceased. Each epitaph contains the name of the deceased as well as an essential feature or occurrence in his life. The characters are painted in bright colors, they are moving, assets, often smiling. Frequently, epitaphs have a touch of humor, reinforcing the attribute of merry given to this cemetery. The epitaphs message avoids drama, mocks death with lucidity and humor, focusing on the triumph of life. In over 50 years, Stan Ioan Patras, father of Merry Cemetery has created hundreds of crosses in this own style. After his death in 1977, the work was continued by his apprentice, Dumitru Pop Tincu. With their drawings and poems, the two folk artists have created an entire village and gave to people a second life after death. Looking through the succession of generations, all the crosses are a vivid chronicle of the village community.
Faima comunei Săpânţa (judeţul Maramureş) se trage de la renumitul său Cimitir Vesel care a ajuns o atracţie turistică recunoscută internaţional. Ineditul acestui cimitir este respingerea culturii tradiţionale care consideră moartea ca fiind un eveniment trist. Speculaţiile pe această temă merg în ancestral, la strămoşii daci, care aveau o atitudine veselă în faţa morţii. Începuturile Cimitirului Vesel datează din 1935 când artistul popular Stan Ioan Pătraş (1908-1977) a realizat primele cruci. Acestea au bazorelief pictat în culori vii, reprezentând o scenă esenţială din viaţa persoanelor înhumate. Crucile sunt făcute din lemn de stejar, iar culoarea de fundal a primit numele de ”Albastru de Săpânţa”. O parte din cruci sunt pictate pe ambele feţe, pe o parte având o descriere a vieţii celui îngropat, iar pe cealaltă motivul morţii. Nicio cruce nu a fost terminată fără a fi încununată cu un epitaf, o scurtă poezie între 7 şi 17 versuri cu rime simple. Majoritatea versurilor sunt scrise cu greşeli de ortografie şi folosesc expresii sau variante vechi de scriere. Epitafurile sunt spontane, deseori satirice şi sunt scrise la persoana I, cu mesaje adresate nouă de către defunct. Fiecare epitaf conţine numele celui decedat precum şi o trăsătură sau o întâmplare esenţială din viaţa acestuia. Personajele, pictate în culori vii, sunt în mişcare, active, deseori zâmbitoare. Frecvent, epitafurile au şi o notă de umor, întârind atributul de ”vesel” dat cimitirului. Mesajul epitafurilor evită dramatismul, ironizează moartea cu luciditate şi umor, punând accent pe triumful vieţii. În peste 50 de ani de activitate, Stan Ioan Pătraş, părintele ”Cimitirului Vesel”, a creat sute de cruci în acest stil propriu. După moartea lui în 1977, opera a fost continuată de ucenicul său, Dumitru Pop Tincu. Cu desenele şi poemele lor, cei doi artişti populari au recreat un întreg sat şi au dat oamenilor o a doua viaţă după moarte. Privind prin prisma succesiunii generaţiilor, ansamblul crucilor constituie o cronică vie a comunităţii satului. Compozitorul irlandez Shaun Davey, impresionat de Săpânţa, a realizat albumul ”Vocile din Cimitirul Vesel” (2011) în care îmbină muzica clasică cu elemente tradiţionale din cele două ţări. Textele pieselor sunt bazate pe epitafurile crucilor din Cimitir

With their drawings and poems, the two folk artists have created an entire village and gave to people a second life after death. Looking through the succession of generations, all the crosses are a vivid chronicle of the village community. The great Irish composer Shaun Davey, impressed by Săpânţa, tried (2009-2010) to value the common cultural heritage. The result is the album Voices from the Merry Cemetery (2011) which combines classical music with traditional elements of the two countries. The lyrics are based on epitaphs on the crosses in the cemetery, are sung by the men's choir of the Faculty of Theology in Sibiu.

하지만 서픈차에 오래된 전통만 있는 것은 아니다. 서픈차의 가장 인기 있는 관광지는 백 년도 채 되지 않았다. 마을 한가운데 교회 아래에는 서픈차 사람들의 공동 묘지가 있는데 파란 바탕에 알록달록한 그림이 눈길을 끈다. 나무로 된 비석에는 생전에 즐겨한 일이나 직업도 그려져 있고 그 사람의 성격이나 인간관계, 마지막 순간이 그려진 것도 있다. 이렇게 사람들은 죽어서도 생전의 모습 그대로 이웃과 어깨를 맞대고 전 세계 조문객들을 맞이하고 있다. 슬픔 대신 즐거운 그림이 된 사람들. 생의 마지막 웃음을 담은 그 꽃밭은 외롭지 않다. “즐거운 묘지에는 많은 이야기들이 담겨 있어요. 범죄 기록 같은 직설적인 정보가 포함되기도 하죠. 나무 십자가를 만들기 위해 그 사람에 관한 모든 것들을 조사하니까요. 제가 만드는 십자가는 아주 정확한 이야기만을 담고 있어서 다른 사람이 함부로 따라 할 수 있는 일이 아니에요. 십자가를 만드는 건 한 사람의 역사를 기록하는 거죠. 그 사람에 관한 정보를 읽고 기록하고 제 생각을 정리한 후에야 십자가에 그의 이야기를 새길 수 있어요” 이곳에서 우연히 나도 작은 역사를 발견했다. 20년 전 여름 이곳을 찾은 KBS 기차타고 세계여행이 남긴 기록. 20년 뒤 반갑게 이 노트를 펼쳐볼 누군가와의 만남을 기다리며 나도 짧은 인사를 남겼다.

But there is not only an old tradition in the West. Surgeon's most popular sightseeing spot is less than a hundred years old. In the middle of the village there is a cemetery of the Seonghega people under the church. Wooden tombstones have depictions of life and occupation that have been enjoyed before, while others have depicted the personality, human relations, and last moments of the person. In this way, even though they die, they meet their neighbors with their lives as they are. People who became fun painting instead of sadness. The flower garden that holds the last laugh of life is not lonely. The joyful cemetery contains many stories. It also includes straightforward information such as criminal records. I investigate everything about him to make a wooden cross. The cross I make is a very accurate story, so it's not something anyone can do wrong. Making a cross records the history of a person. I can read and write the information about him and put my thoughts together before I can put his story on the cross. I stumbled across a small history here. A record of traveling around the world on a KBS train that came here 20 years ago. Twenty years later, I gladly waited for a meeting with someone to open this notebook.

Dar nu există doar o veche tradiție în Occident. Cel mai popular punct de vedere al lui Surgeon este mai puțin de o sută de ani. Standing Sub mijlocul bisericii satului există un peuncha cimitir care atrage atentia o imagine pestriț pe un fundal albastru. Monumentul de lemn a fost, de asemenea, atras de unul sau de locuri de muncă se pot bucura în timpul vieții sale, și caracterul acelei persoane și relațiile umane, acesta este, de asemenea, în ultimul moment desenat. În acest fel, chiar dacă mor, își întâlnesc vecinii cu viața lor așa cum sunt. Oamenii care au devenit distractiv pictura în loc de tristețe. Grădina de flori care ține ultimul râs al vieții nu este singură. Cimitirul plin de bucurie conține multe povestiri. Acesta include, de asemenea, informații clare, cum ar fi cazierele judiciare. Investighez totul despre el pentru a face o cruce de lemn. Crucea pe care o fac este o poveste foarte exactă, deci nu este ceva ce poate face rău. Făcând o cruce înregistrează istoria unei persoane. Pot să citesc și să scriu informațiile despre el și să-mi pun gândurile împreună înainte de a-mi putea pune povestea pe cruce. Am dat peste o mică istorie aici. Un record de călătorie în jurul lumii pe un tren KBS care a venit aici acum 20 de ani. Binevenite după 20 de ani de așteptare pentru o întâlnire cu cineva văzut desfaceți această notă am lăsat un scurt salut.
