Sรขnzianฤƒ is the Romanian name for gentle fairies who play an important part in local folklore, also used to designate the Galium verum or Cruciata laevipes flowers. Under the plural form Sรขnziene, the word designates an annual festival in the fairies' honor.

People in the western Carpathian Mountains celebrate the Sรขnziene holiday annually, on June 24. This is similar to the Swedish Midsummer holiday, and is believed to be a pagan celebration of the summer solstice in June.
