Red & White Wool Bracelets for bulgarian martenita
Baba Marta day in Bulgaria.
One of the most heart touching traditions is Baba Marta Day – Grandma March day celebrated in Bulgaria as the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
On this day people exchange red and white bracelets ( martenitsi ) in anticipation of the first sign of the spring.
You wear your Martenitsa from when you receive it until you see the first signs of spring. This can be in the form of buds opening on trees, or the sight of storks in the sky or even swallows. Alternatively, if you don’t see a stork or swallow, you can take it off at the beginning of April.
Who is Baba Marta?
Baba Marta is imagined as a grumpy old woman. The sun shines when she is happy and her anger brings cold storms. She is a human picture of unpredictable March weather.
