Mountain sacred in Romania.



          The sacred mountain in Romanian are:

"Mount Kogaionon was the sacred mountain of the Dacians."[1] This sacred mountain was inhabited and dominated by the Dacians.

Mount Ceahlau is a mountain considered holy by the Orthodox Romanians. The Romanians attributed it as a feast to this mountain "The Feast of  Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is actually the Feast of Ceahlau Mountain - the Holy Mountain."[2]
"On the day of the feast, videlicet, at the Feast of the Transfiguration of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Orthodox Christians and hierarchs ascended"[3]  [4] and ascend to the Ceahlau Mountain  in pilgrimage.

In the romanian fairy tales appear the mythical mountains knock in the heads.
A fairy tale showing the mountains that knock in the heads is the Wolf-with-head-iron[5] and another fairy tale is Brave fatherless[6]
