A pig's last scream happens in the month of December, around Christmas time.
When I was a kid, every family in the village had a pig for Christmas.
On December 20Th, St. Ignatius Teofor Day (Ignat) the pig was to be sacrificed, cooked, and eaten on Christmas day.
The cooking starts on Christmas Eve day. A traditional Christmas dinner includes pork roast, sarmale (cabbage rolls), piftie(jellied pork), at least three kinds of sausages, pork soup, lots of pickles and pickled vegetables (like cabbage, tomatoes, cauliflower, red paper), sweet bread and polenta. They also make a traditional holly bread, named "colaci", which is a raised dough shaped as a cross. This bread will be taken at the church and shared with the entire community.
