The feast of Saint Andrew is celebrated in Moldova with the tradition of planting wheat seeds in a small pot, which is kept in the house until Christmas. The wheat represents the new life that comes from the birth of Christ, and the tradition is that the wheat will grow tall and green by Christmas Day. The day is also the name day for everyone named Andrei or Andreea, and they celebrate with cake and wine. The evening before Saint Andrew's Day is a night of magic and superstition: the young women put a branch of sweet basil under their pillow to dream of their future husband, and the children go from house to house with garlic and wheat to bless the home.
