The Legend of Old Dochia

Just another way it is supposed that

the Trinket Mrior appeared
Several years ago, an old woman named
Dochia had a stepdaughter she hated.

One day, during a terrible winter, Dochia gave
her a very dirty cloth, asking her to wash it in a
river.

The young girl washed it for a long time, but
as she was washing it, it only became darker.

Then a man named Trinket (Martisor) came
and asked her why she cried. She told him
what happened.

Trinked told her that he possesses magical powers and gave
her a red and white flower, telling her to wash the cloth one
more time and to go home afterwards.


When the girl arrived home, the cloth was as white
as snow. Dochia could not to believe her eyes.

Suddenly he saw the flower from the girl's hair. Thought spring
came back and went with her flock on the mountain. On the way
the weather was beautiful, so he gave up the coats she wore.

In the end, however, she was caught by drizzle. Old
Dochia was left alone in the mountains, the frost came
and the sheep were turned into stone.

Since then, red and white symbolize the struggle
between good and evil, between winter and spring.
