Marteniza
Chestita Baba Marta!
Today is a special day in Bulgaria. On March 1st Marteniza (see the picture) are given to friends and family to wish them health and happiness. The red and white colors symbolize the end of winter and the coming of spring.
These decorations are worn until you see a sign of spring, such as birds migrating or trees blooming.

Marteniza
Chestita Baba Marta to all of you!
It's a wonderful tradition and thanks to my parents and friends from Bulgaria, who send me beautiful martenichki every year, I can be part of it even from here.
