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.
