Gathering of Roma
Kalderash Rom Rosalinda Radu (R) and her cousin Scumpa Carpaciu stand outside the church during their annual visit to pay tribute to St. Gregory with their families at the Bistrita monastery in Bistrita, Romania, Sept. 8, 2013.
Every year thousands of Kalderash from across Romania arrive to visit the monastery and to gather at an open field nearby for a day or more of feasting, dancing, visiting and business dealing.
Romania's Roma, many of whom call themselves tsigani, or Gypsies, are divided into different tribes that were once distinctive by their craft. The Kalderash were coppersmiths but today are known for dealing in scrap metal and metal products. Many Kalderash are among Romania's most traditonal and least assimilated Roma and most marry in their teens.
