Gypsy beauties. The most interesting about the gypsies (12 photos)




Over the centuries, the attitude towards the Gypsy people was very controversial, and their lifestyle always also caused at least perplexity and misunderstanding. While most people are Roma associated with thieves and beggars, the Gypsy elite literally slows down in gold and wealth. To date, some Gypsies continue to conduct a nomadic lifestyle, constantly on the road, and some have chosen somewhat, stable life, which, by the way, does not interfere with them in an invariably to keep a separate group and in no way assimilate with the rest of society. Travelask represents 20 bright and eloquent pictures, which fully demonstrate the features of life, life and culture of the Gypsy people.

We all know that true beauty is the light in the heart, but today the appearance is much more relevant. The very concept of beauty in the 21st century is devalued by the abundance of beauty salons, the availability of various plastic procedures and photoshop. It is not necessary to be born a beauty, it can be.

Nevertheless, some nations still appreciate genuine natural beauty. It is also about the gypsies. The most beautiful gypsy will be favorably different from modern beauties from the podium at least their sincerity, natural grace, a bright clear look and tenderness.

Gypsies - free people

There are several hypotheses where the free Gypsy people appeared. In each country they are called in their own way: the British is called them from Egyptian civilization, the French - Bohemians, Finns and Estonians - "black". Around the world there are many representatives of this nation. With this, their bright, diverse, saturated culture is connected.

The most important thing for Roma is the continuity and commitment to its traditions that are fully expressed in belonging to their people. In the case of terrible crimes, Roma is expelled from the clan, and this is really the most cruel punishment for each of them. And, on the contrary, if Gypsy calls another person who does not belong to his people, Roma, then this is considered the highest compliment.

Gypsies love children very much, considering their award-winning and higher value. In their traditions to pick up nonsense, adopt children in need of the house. Hence the myths that they steal children. For Gypsy there is a cult of family and the cult of mothers. They very much respect family values, choosing a life satellite once and forever, this is profitable highlighted in the "civilized" world.

The most beautiful gypsy - what should it be?

The concept of beauty for Gypsies is very different from modern Western European ideals. Since the area below the belt in Gypsy is considered to be "bad" (dirty, unclean), then all this should be covered up to it. For this reason, women put long skirts in the floor, as a rule, lush and bright (such is the Gypsy soul). Fashion is simple: that they found cheaper, from that and stitched the outfit. Nevertheless, Gypsies have always attracted attention to their beauty. Recall only the famous Esmeralda: Thin, fragile, tender, with huge black eyes and magnificent hair, she trimmed the views of all the inhabitants of the "yard of miracles."

The criteria of Gypsy beauty can be drawn not only from the fiction of contemporaries, but also from songs, tales, ballads, fairy tales. So, the most beautiful gypsy will have a characteristic person: it is beautiful, cheerful, gentle, bright with huge clear "diamond" eyes. Hair must be long and lush, thick. The body is flexible, slim, beautifully appearing in dance.

Modern world beauty standards

Today's beauty is different in that it is not given from birth, but is purchased in the world of beauty blogging and does not matter what the dignity of the girl is from nature, it is important that she managed to achieve with makeup, beauty salons, photoshop, and sometimes Surgical improvements. To date, much more important is well-maintained and feeling the perfect taste than beautiful eyes and slender legs. Nevertheless, some beauty criteria are still alive.

In the fashion, a healthy gentle complex face with a temperate blush and light. The main beauty-cult of our century became thick magnificent natural eyebrows. You can even increase eyebrows: the procedure is not cheap and, however, say, not pleasant. Feminine figures returned to fashion, anorexia is no longer beautiful (and was it?).

How to choose the most beautiful gypsy?

The free people himself would have insulted such a question and led to beware, but since the modern world is constantly striving for ratings and hit parades, then it is worth seeing to such a question. Of course, in the world thousands of beautiful gypsies, young and older. But it is possible to evaluate beauty in this case only on the basis of well-known representatives of the Volnaya People. Choose a photo of the most beautiful gypsy - the task is not easy.

On the Internet, a million beautiful photos of Gypsies. In the world of movies and television there are also many representatives of the free people. We look closer to some of them.

Rita Hayworth

Oddly enough, one of the most beautiful gypsies of the world can be called a famous actress, a model and a dancer who has gypsy roots, as the father of Rita is a leaving from Spanish Seville, Dancer Flamenco. Inherited from his father, pristine beauty and Gypsy grace turned Rita not only to an outstanding dancer, but later - in Hollywood Divo and actress. The star fell in love with the whole world for her luxury curls, huge black eyes and gentle

Rita played more than 60 films, and most of them are the main roles of the stars. She never nominated for Oscar, but became a real national favorite and the true symbol of the cinema of his time. The image of Rita is often mentioned in the cinema and in the literature.

True beauty goes out of the heart, and Rita Hayworth is confirmation. She is not only the most beautiful gypsy in the world, but also a bright decoration of the history of cinema.

Soledad Miranda

Spaniards are known for the whole world with their beauty, brightness and sexuality. Gentle Soledad Randon Bueno is the most beautiful Gypsy of Spain. The name is translated as "loneliness." This is with Portuguese and Gypsy roots. National blood played in young beauty early, and the girl began his career of Flamenko's dancer at eight years. Next, the girl tried herself in music and cinema, where he was also very successful.

However, the violent spirit of the free people did his job: Soledad married a rider. A few years later, the actress tragically died in a car accident. She was 27 years old. Such tragic death had an impact not only on the family of the girl, but also to the Spanish cinema of that time: the star mourned everything.

Despite the fact that the actress took part in the top ten paintings, it became a legend and symbol for her followers. The girl really is incredibly beautiful, she remained in the memory of all: eternally young and beautiful!

Diana Savelyev

The most beautiful gypsy of Russia can rightly call Diana Savelyev. Diana - Russian actress and singer, laureate of many honorary premiums. The inhabitant of the actress is known for the main role of the Esmeralda in the musical Notre Dame de Paris, where she shone not only by beauty, but also an incredible talent, a voice of a swirl and grace of gypsy. It is not surprising that a little later, the actress was called in the Music "Monte Cristo" to execute the role of guide, where she continued to amaze the viewer with talent and beauty.

He studied the beauty of his art not only in a bright Gypsy family, but also in the metropolitan guitis. Today, the popular actress performs tourists around the world, herself writes romances and music, vows in the clips and continues to be improved on the field of art.

"And in the end I will tell…"

And who are they, representatives of the Muslim religion - the most beautiful gypsies? Oglya is the self-sizing of the Gypsies professing Islam. Here you can call the Rada Matvienko, an actress and singer from Kazakhstan. She often speaks with songs in its national language.

True beauty does not measure and do not touch, it can not be felt or evaluated. She always goes from the inside. Gypsies to this day, preserving and carrying through the generation of the tradition of ancestors, is rightfully considered to be one of the brightest and most beautiful peoples of the world. So, Lyalya Pearl (Theater "Roman") is a recognized beauty of domestic cinema. Her sparkling eyes, graceful bends, gentle dancing, mounted hair and philosophical sad songs fascinate all.

You can relate differently to the Gypsy people, but not respecting their age-old traditions and natural beauty is impossible!

Gypsies are considered free and mysterious people who are characterized by the ambiguous attitude of society. This is due to their lifestyle, traditions and customs. Some do not like the nationality for fraud and cheating, the other "souls do not need it" and invite her representatives to various events and holidays to enjoy songs and dances. To the signs of what the gypsies look like, bright appearance and clothing, which distinguish them from the crowd.

Gypsies - numerous ethnos of Indian origin. Common self-calibration - Roma, rum (or Roma in the villain). However, other ethnonyms are used: the Finnish and Estonian peoples refer to the Gypsies "Black" (Kale), the French - Bohemians, the British - the Egyptians. They also call Xinti, manush and so on.

The territory where the people lives includes countries of Europe, North Africa, North and South America, Australia. According to Wikipedia, the number of European gypsies is 8-12 million. In Russia for 2010, the number of people's representatives is 220 thousand. In many countries, Gypsy is small, and they are scattered throughout. Such few groups are found at Croats or in China.

However, to say exactly how many Gypsies live in a particular territory, it is difficult. This is due to their characteristic feature - the lack of "legal visibility". Gypsies and their children live Tabor, often not registered, do not have documents, passports, are "missing missing".

Origin

In the world

The roots of the Gypsy nationality originate in India. This is evidenced by their genetic analysis. Haplogroup H (Y-DNA) is present in Gypsy (60%) and indigenous Indian residents (27%). She also meets from Tajik, Syrian nations, Kalash, Kurds from Turkmenistan.

Rod Gypsies from the North-West of India and appeared about 1.5 thousand years ago. The influence of their language was presented by Persians and Greeks. Rada Rajan is determined by Rajasthan, Kashmir and Gujarat.

After the 6th centuries, immigration of nation in Europe, most likely, due to their oppression of Muslims. This marks blood mixing with other nationalities. The main part of the representatives of the nationality occupies the territory of Europe, but most of all there are Romanian and Hungarian Gypsies. Their number is within 2.5-8 million people. In Bulgaria, the proportion of nation is 4.7% of the population (370 thousand people). A sufficient number of representatives among the Serbs.

Description of history during the tyranny of the German fascists, headed by Adolf Hitler, includes the mass destruction of Gypsies, along with the Jews.

The attitude of other nationalities to Gypsy nation is ambiguously. Until the XV century, Europeans were well-minded to them, but then the situation has changed to the opposite. Why this happened, explained by the behavior of the Gypsy: It turned out that they steal, deceive, begging, which they deserve the reputation of fraudsters and vagrants.

After that, the displacement of nationalities from the territories, the nesting, bullying over them and even the murder began. However, after 3 centuries, the situation has stabilized, the gypsies include tolery.

In the nationality there is a division into a settled caste, semi-seated and nomadic. The latter lived in the Tabor, the main thing in which Waida was played. He allowed internal conflicts, represented people in front of the country's authorities, where at that moment was nomaded.

Sedded or semi-seated lessed everywhere, adjusting to religious customs and taking faith of the people, where they were located.

In Russia

The paths from where the gypsies came from in Russian land are the Balkan countries (in the XV century), Germany, Poland (in the XVI-XVII centuries). They appeared in the XVII century on the territory of modern Ukraine.

An increase in the number of gypsies occurred when the borders of Russia expands. Upon the accession of Poland, Polish Roma, Bessarabia - Moldavian, Crimea - Crimean appeared.

Until the 1917 revolution, men engaged in horses trading, women - fortunate and magic. Nomads were fond of begging, predictions and witchcraft, sometimes for a blacksmith. In St. Petersburg, Tsygans at 30 years of the XIX century replenished the composition of the choirs, many of whom were liberated by the government from serfdom. The popularity of the people and its culture at the time was extremely high. Noble people married gypsy girls.

After the revolution, there is a decree so that people organize a lifestyle suitable for labor activity. So the gypsies joined the Soviet family, people together fought with the enemy during the Great Patriotic War.

The only gypsy, who was awarded the title of "Hero of the Soviet Union", became Timofey Prokofiev, marines. Thanks to Tsygan, the Germans did not defeat the Nikolaev landing. He led the machine-gun fire to the last and even after a deadly injury in the head, collecting forces, released the line in the approached fascists.

In 1956, a decree was released again, after which the main proportion of nomads took a settling lifestyle. Modern gypsies are endowed with rights: choose the sphere of labor, to receive secondary and higher education. However, only the units are used.

The origin of the Gypsy is known to scientists, but there are rumors everywhere who they are and from where they appeared. There are versions that these are Moldovans or Romanians. And then at all the Gypsies act as descendants of sunken Atlantis. Moldavian and Romanian people relate to other ethnic groups. And the version of belonging to Atlantis is due to the mystical abilities of the ethnos.

The nationality is correctly written in the plural "Gypsy", despite the fact that the poem Alexander Pushkin is called "Gypsies" is an outdated form.

Features of the nature and life of Roma: customs and laws

In 1971, after the World Gypsy Congress, national anthem and the flag presented in the picture were adopted.

As an arms, the people use symbols: a deck of cards, horseshoe, wheel.

For gypsy is characterized by a free lifestyle. Its representatives to this day are engaged in primordial affairs: they sing, they dance beautifully, they walk, play the guitar, they are trained by bears and other animals, love to guess. At the same time, in the community there are mainly friendly and warm relationships.

Complete Balages are invited by order for the holidays: birthday, weddings, anniversaries.

Gypsy often represent fraudsters, begging. They can be found at the stations, in the trams, trolley buses, trainers sitting on the side of the roads with small children, where they are asking for alms.

They stick to passersby with a proposal to pay, are excellent psychologists who are able to undergo confidence. If a person talks and responds, they suggest that he has an impression. At the same time, the victim voluntarily gives all the money from the wallet.

The Ethnic Group of Marine Gypsies is of interest - Bajo, nomadic in the Indian Ocean. They live in huts over water, fishing are engaged. It is possible to trade exclusively for trade, repair of a boat, to fill the supply of fresh water or in case of funeral.

However, modern young marine gypsies often do not want to live according to the rules of the ancestors. They move to land, learn and work under normal conditions that previous generations were not accepted.

About the life of the Gypsy, rules and traditions make a movie: "Return to Flavor", "Tabor goes to the sky", "Gypsy" and so on. Many world-famous actors have Gypsy roots.

For example, People's Artist of Russia Catherine Pearl, presented in the photo.

Famous actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin was Roma.

Disputes are being conducted on accessories to the nationality of many famous people. The data is given that the famous singer Elvis Presley from the family of German gypsies emigrated to the United States.

The peculiarity of the life of the nationality is that its representatives are often or fabulously rich, or beggars. In the first case, their homes resemble palaces with a luxurious and expensive atmosphere.

In the second case, Gypsies live in extreme poverty in the absence of elementary living conditions. Often perform illegal glasses.

Hungarian, Bulgarian, Romanian tendencies are traced in the dishes of national cuisine. They love chicken, lamb, beef, soups made of beets, sauerkrauts, prepare fogs (tamala) - chopped meat, wrapped in cornpople, Harba - product, liver and bass. National drink - black tea with herbs and berries.

Gypsy life is filled with customs and rules, many of which are subject to mandatory execution.


In other nationalities there are beliefs associated with the Gypsies. If the Tabor dreamed, the dream interpretation says about the desire of a disorderly sexual life with frequent change of partners. Sleep when Roma is riding from place to place, signals nostalgia over the past. The fortune teller seems to give fate not to that man. In general, what a gypsy is dreaming, means hasty decisions, actions. If you went to buy something from them, it foreshadows the loss of money.

Wedding

The rite is responsible for moving a young guy and girls to a new hierarchical status. This is the reason why Gypsies are early married. If the girl is 19 years old, she is considered an old Virgin. How many years old are young, parents often decide. The girl is recognized as a potential bride after 14 years. Only at late marriages are taken into account feelings and selection of lovers.

The wedding is preceded by the engagement that parents commit. With early marriage, the decision to marry does not depend on the will of children.

The redemption of the bride is possible, but in this case it is expected to test the funds spent.

The girl gets married a virgin. Proof in the form of a bloody sheet is provided after the marriage night. If the Gypsy girl is not a virgin - it is considered to be a disgrace.

Marriages between representatives of the nationality of different states are unlikely. This is tantamount to the wedding with not Roma, which is not encouraged by the Gypsy law. Repeated marriages are not approved.

The funeral

The rite, as the funeral undergoes, is due to believe that the person in the otherworldly world requires things as in life. Greenshots are preparing in advance, children wink money to hold parents worthy. The luxurious is the grave stove of impressive sizes, where the dead is depicted in full growth.

When they bury a person, relatives or friends through the coffin transmit 3 subjects: icon (men's or female), carpet and bed. Inside put things first need and alcohol. 40 days hung mirrors, mourning is observed for a year.

Gypsy curses

Rituals are recognized as important magic force and are considered among other nationalities the reason than dangerous Gypsies. However, not all of them are characterized by mystical abilities. This magician will not be a fellow ritual. Therefore, curses from angry fortunekal, usually an empty sound.

Gypsies can curse when the origin of the genus. Usually, the fee is not charged for it.

Signs of the presence of a human curse are considered:

  • loss or weight gain, deterioration of well-being, appearance (older);
  • development of diseases that are not treatable;
  • apathy;
  • nightmares;
  • a believer does not wear a cross, refuses to visit the Church because of fear;
  • family scandals;
  • care from home domestic animals.

To remove the deterioration, it is advisable to use water - washed in the morning in the river for 12 days, pronouncing a special conspiracy. Also, cemetery rites and others are used to get rid of damage.

Gypsy law

It is an unwritten set of rules for execution in the Gypsy society and outside it. Currently, its law exists in each country and even inside it in different types of nationality.

Over compliance, the elderly members of the community, conflicts and violations disassemble the Gypsy court, which includes authoritative people.

The most terrible sentence is the expulsion of the criminal.

The chief postulate of the law is to comply with the rules and restrictions of the Nezgansk society with a relationship with him.

Forbidden murders, rape, applying severe physical damage.

The rules of behavior within the Gypsy Society are also announced: Clothes, holidays, household alignment, review of professions and so on.

Common stereotypes

Stereotypes about the gypsies went from numerous stories about their lives, stories of victims of fraud and their own observations of people, since Gypsies are present in almost every country of the world.

  • Do not have homeland. Gypsies are people without certain citizenship, in which they often refuse even if there is a birth in the country. The recognition of the nation is necriternitorial made them legally "invisible."
  • Do not love to learn. Representatives of the nationality give children to school to teach elementary knowledge: read, write, count. Often, after this, the child throws classes, helping parents in trade.
  • Honorary Gypsy is considered to be a lot of drinks and do not be drunk.
  • Gypsies are good psychologists with hypnosis. For this reason, they should be avoided, the fortune telling them will bring more harm than good. The main goal of gypsy is to get income. Rare personalities have the ability of predictions, the rest create a magical image around themselves: witchcraft balls, tarot cards and other attributes.
  • Gypsies high statistics of domestic violence. The wife carries a heavy burden, submitting to her husband-tyrant, while it is forced to endure, because the tradition involves marriage for life.
  • In the family of Gypsies should be at least one son. If this does not happen for a long time, the boy is taken from the shelter, despite its nationality. This became one of the reasons explaining the statement that the Gypsies stole children. Often, people seeing in the Tabor of Light, blue-eyed and completely unlike other children, they stated that he was stolen.
  • If the family has a two-story house, a woman cannot climb the second floor if the husband is on the first

Most of our ideas about the Gypsy culture are true. They really love bright decorations and cordlessness, and do not store on emotions: if the wedding, so that the whole world knows if there is a quarrel, so that a few future generations do not speak with each other.

Modern communities, let's say, American Gypsies look somewhat differently than we could imagine: women are not necessarily dressed in long colored skirts and scarves. However, there is something strictly followed by all members of the community.

For example, get the formation for gypsy is a rarity. We are in website A lot was surprised and decided to learn about other rules of behavior that gypsy girls should follow.

Traditions of marriage

Gypsies are holy honutive culture, and the aliens from the side applying to the gypsy hand are called Gorger - that is, the one who does not belong to their community and is not a gypsy. Girls basically find their love among the community, with rare exceptions. The desire to preserve its own culture is so great that marriages between cousins \u200b\u200band sisters are not uncommon.

Married girl should come out by a virgin. What happens to Gypsy, who did not keep his innocence before the wedding? It is considered a dirty and desecrated community. By doing so, she risks staying on Mels: no man-Roma will do against the community rules, marrying her after she gave himself to another.

By the way, the average age of marriage is 16-17 years old in girls and 18-19 years old in guys, and this marriage, according to traditions, must be preserved for life. Gypsy, married, may not even think about divorce. In the Gypsy community, repeated marriages are not welcome, and not to "desecrate" the community, a woman can only enter one marriage for life.

Extremely rarely women still part with husbands. And, as a rule, they no longer enter new relationships. In the eyes of the community, it throws the shadow not only to her, but also on her daughters.

Submission to parents

A girl growing in the Gypsy community, from an early age is surrounded by the rules that parents dictate. Of course, such a system is present in most other cultures, but in Gypsy culture parents (and especially father) have a huge authority, and the daughter is obliged to do what they will say. When she becomes older, she is allowed to leave the house only accompanied by family members (and this is not necessarily parents - the sisters, brothers, aunt and uncle can accompany the gypsy).

For the same reason, parents often choose her husband for their daughter, without relying on her opinion. Marriages in agreement among the Gypsies are not uncommon. And after the parents give gypsy marry, she will be obliged to read and obey the husband just like the parents.

The boys in this plan of freedom are much more - they can leave the house alone, choose the bride to independently, etc.

Cannot call the police

As a rule, Roma find out their affairs loudly and noisy, often rushing to a fight with representatives of a hostile family. And this is also part of their traditions. However, all problems are solved inside families, without the involvement of the law. Submit to the court or call the outfit of the police not in their rules: Roma will rather come to the crowd into the house of rivals or will arrange disassembly at the wedding. In the worst case, the family will renounce the one who causes the police on disassembly. Anyone in the Gypsy community is obliged to know what to do so - against the rules. Men are accepted, but some girls are still trying to call for a swollen nurse to order with the help of the law.

We will have to accept violence

Statistics of home violence in the Gypsy communities is incredibly high. Study in England has shown that 61% of married gypsies in England are subject to violence from the spouse. Women are forced to put up with this. Member of the Gypsy Sisters show Melli says that one day a former husband locked it in a trailer, and when she managed to get out, hit her several times. The girl's family convinced her to take a man back. The girl explains why so: "This is a Gypsy tradition, and it needs to be honored."

Keep clean

If in most countries a woman can not afford not to be a housewife and sometimes lazy to make cleaning, then for gypsy it is unforgivable. Hygiene in the culture of Roma occupies an important place, and the woman is responsible for maintaining cleanliness in the house. It must comply with several rules, in particular with anyone to share their dishes or table appliances, including the spouse. All objects of the dishes are washed several times: under running water, in a separate bowl with boiling water and again under running water.

Wash men's and women's clothing is relieved separately. The upper body is considered clean, while the bottom is dirty, so that the clothes "to the belt" and "below the belt" is erased separately from each other. Well, by itself, underwear is also subject to personal washing.

Pregnancy - a special period

Despite the fact that the behavior of gypsies should be chastened, her outfit should be straightforward about the opposite. Thus, she can attract the attention of the future husband, without making any effort to this (because they can not get acquainted with the guys of the first Gypsy girl). The most vivid example of such behavior is American gypsies that are dressed up every day as a holiday. And if the wedding or birthday is planned, go The most spectacular decorations and the most luxurious dresses.

Gypsy can now be found in all corners of the planet, except for Antarctica. Only, in European countries, their number is 12 million people. I suggest you learn the 11 national habits and features of the Gypsy, some of which will be very surprised.

"Roma" is a collective term, the same as "Slavs", "Caucasians", "Scandinava" or "Latin Americans". The gypsies include several dozen nations. In many regions of Russia, it is still possible to meet Gypsy ties, from them the Pushkin Bessarabia, their tongue - grungy verbal com, and clothes are an infinite holiday.


They will be seized by families very early
A 14-year-old girl for Gypsy is an already potential bride. At the weddings and other holidays, where you can dance, all girls who are over 14 will dance until the end of the celebration, because they know that the fathers of sons are currently looking at and evaluate them. Unmarried Gypsy 19 years is an old Virgin.


They buy brides with gold with gold
The bride on the wedding day will buy gold in kilograms or "in banks". The father of the bride or brothers, if there is no father, appoint a price, for example, two three-liter banks filled with gold rings, chains, etc.


They demonstrate to guests at the wedding "Honor of the Bride"
On the wedding day, Gypsy has one exciting for all the time when the elder women are leaving the bride into the bedroom and check, the virgin is it or not. Actually, deprivation of virginity there, behind closed doors, and happens - without any participation of the groom. After the guests on a beautiful large tray demonstrate a snow-white sheet or a stain shirt.


Wedding between the gypsies of different countries is impossible
For example, a wedding is hardly between the kitlers and Russian gypsies, as it is equivalent to the wedding with not Roma. Gypsies of one state see the Gypsies of another state as a special people and never support communication. Russian Tsygans are mostly Orthodox, Crimean and Palestinian - Muslims, Croatian - Catholics.


They often adopt children
In the Tsygan family, there must be at least one son. If the heir is not born in any way, then they no longer risk and take a boy from the shelter. At the same time, the child can be anyone: Bashkir, Russian, red, cavalo, blond, blue-eyed. This partly became the cause of the myth that Gypsies steal children.


They reluctantly give their children to school
The child is sent to the school most often so that he learned to read, write and count, since with the six-eight years of children teach to adulthood - they begin to help parents in trade. Therefore, if the Gypsy child after the third class still goes to school on the lessons, and does not help parents on the market, "he also wasting time, instead of learning a family business.


They have a woman can not stand above men
If Roma has a two-storey house, no woman can rise to the second floor, if a man is on the first. This law is still complied with.


Their women are two skirts and apron every day
Women still wear two skirts and apron. It is believed that below the belt woman "Dream" and "Unclean". The touch of her skirt is able to "desecrate" not only any subject, but also a person. Therefore, the lower skirt is considered unclean, as it touches the woman, the second is also considered unclean, since it is still a little blurred bottom. Clean is considered only apron. You can touch it, lean the dishes, wipe your hands about it.


They have an internal court
In the case of a dispute, respected gypsies are moving, which listened to the arguments of the parties for and against. Gypsy is an important moment of settlement of relationships, and he is not subject to publicity. Punishment can be a different one. One of the most serious - "Dali 24". The guilty Gypsy is forced to leave the community and give it for it 24 hours.


They swear in the coffin
Gypsy is very important to the ritual of the oath to prove his right point. The most common oath is on the icon. The richest and most intractable situations - the oath in the coffin (at the kotlyarov). If Gypsy wants to prove that he is not to blame, he makes a special coffin in which he should lie down and pronounce an oath. It says that if he is lying at the moment, then it is soon in this coffin.


Their children gave money for the funeral of parents
The funeral of Roma is traditionally rich. Sometimes children spend a few years for the funeral of parents who are still alive and healthy at that time. If death came sustainable, then relatives will be after burial to collect money for a decent tombstone. Special "Shikom" is considered a monument from stone with a portrait of the deceased in full growth.
