Today in my country we celebrate Baba Marta. According to an old Bulgarian tradition, on the 1st of March we present martenitsi for health - a decoration made of white and red wool or cotton thread, which are twisted.
The red thread symbolizes blood, strength, life, and the white thread symbolizes purity, light, a new beginning.
According to tradition, martenits are worn until we see a stork or a blossoming tree. Then they are taken down and hung on a tree or placed under a stone.
Честита Баба Марта и бъдете здрави!
Happy Baba Marta and stay healthy!
