Description

Albania celebrates the lunar Spring Day (Albanian: Dita e Verės or Dita e Luleve) on 14 March, and from 2004 it has been a national holiday. It is an old pagan practice, particularly popular in the city of Elbasan, central Albania.
According to some sources, Dita e Verės derives from the Arbėreshė, an Albanian community that has lived in Italy since the 15th century. On 14 March, the Arbėreshė of the Italian coast collect a tuft of grass roots and soil, bringing it home to commemorate the anniversary of their emigration from Albania. In fact, some sources date back this celebration to ancient Illyria. At that time, the feast was celebrated on 1 March, which in the Julian calendar, corresponded to the first day of the year.
