1st March - Spring is coming




1st March is the day when Romanian girls and women receive "martzishoare" and wear them for few weeks until the religious celebration called "Florii" comes . There are some symbols used to bring luck : snowdrops, chimney sweeper, horse shoe, clover and other spring symbols.
Have a nice spring!

Thank you very much, dear Romanian friends!
We are glad that we've got the same holiday, a tradition to wear "martenitsas" or "martzishoare" for health and luck. In Bulgaria 1st March comes to show that the spring is here and the flowers will blossom soon. So let's celebrate with love and joy!
Happy Grandmother Marta!
Warm wishes, Bulgarian Team
