Calonda Mars

Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 9:00 a.m.
Originally, calonda mars had little to do with spring, because it is a New Year's custom. The Romans, who conquered Graubünden, not only brought their language – from which Romansh developed over time – but also their calendar, Julian. In 153 BC, they had moved the beginning of the year to January 1. That did not make sense to the people of Graubünden. They continued to celebrate New Year's Day on March 1, and with the ringing of the bells they drove away the demons of the old year and taught those of the new to fear.
