Baba Dochia

When Dochia sees the berries, she thinks that spring has come back and leaves for the mountains with her son and her goats.

In despair and with her hands frozen from the cold water of the river, the girl starts crying, thinking that she would never be able to see her loved husband again.

When Baba Dochia hears about her story, she gets angry and thinks spring has come, since the man (who the girls had not recognized as being Jesus) was able to offer her a flower.

Dochia is sometimes depicted as a proud woman who teases the month of March, who in return gets its revenge by taking some days from February.

When the Roman Emperor Trajan was conquering part of the Dacian territory, Dochia seeks refuge in the Carpathian Mountains in order to avoid marrying him.

When she realizes that there is no escape, she asks the supreme Dacian god Zamolxes to turn her and her herd into stone,[2] thus becoming Babele, a rock formation in the Bucegi Mountains.
