Abstract
Andrei Flavius PETRUȚ Brad, jud. Hunedoara The paper discusses the folk theatre rituals organized around Christmas in the village Luncoiu de Sus, Hunedoara County, Romania. The name of this type of theatre is ”Irod” or ”Irozi” which is derived from the name of the tyrant emperor Herod. Every year, nine teenagers aged between 15 and 24 wear specific costumes and play a series of religious characters – King Herod, two soldiers, a priest, a shepherd, an angel and the Three Wise Men from the East –, while caroling throughout the whole village on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day.
