The day after New Year is for recovering from the feast and visiting neighbors. The tradition of "uratul" continues, where young men go door to door offering blessings for prosperity and health. The host offers wine, placinta, and sometimes tuica (plum brandy) to the visitors. The uratul is a ritual of friendship and community, and refusing a visitor is considered bad luck. The day is also for visiting godparents and exchanging small gifts.
