- 1. University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine MIEADR, IMAPA, 2016 Fieraru Andra Elena – Group 8115 Săpânța - Merry Cemetery Săpânța is a commune in Maramureș County in northern Romania, 15 kilometers northwest of Sighet and just south of the Tisza River. It is composed of a single village, Săpânța. It is known for its "Merry Cemetery" and was the original home of the Spinka dynasty of Hasidic Rebbes. The Merry Cemetery is a cemetery in the village of Săpânța, Maramureş county, Romania. It is famous for its colourful tombstones with naïve paintings describing, in an original and poetic manner, the persons who are buried there as well as scenes from their lives. The Merry Cemetery became an open-air museum and a national tourist attraction. The unusual feature of this cemetery is that it diverges from the prevalent belief, culturally shared within European societies – a belief that views death as something indelibly solemn. Connections with the local Dacian culture have been made, a culture whose philosophica tenets presumably vouched for the immortality of the soul and the belief that death was a moment filled with joy and anticipation for a better life
