FUGA LOLELOR

Fugalor Lolelor Cincu/Großschenker Urzellauf is a medieval custom closely linked to the workings of the Transylvanian craft guilds. Every year, when the chest containing the money and guild secrets was transferred to the new Guild Master, the Lole, masked characters in grotesque costumes, who made a great noise with their whips and specially made bells, were called to protect this procession as a symbol of prosperity, fertility and the banishment of all that could be harmful, seen or unseen.
