Various religious and cultural events have taken place across Romania, primarily centered around Orthodox Christian traditions and local festivities.

In Sighișoara, the 31st edition of the Medieval Festival brought medieval atmosphere to the citadel through music, parades, and artistic performances. In Salva, Bishop Samuel Bistrițeanul presided over a monastic tonsure ceremony for three women at the "Izvorul Tămăduirii" Monastery.
