Martenitsa (Bulgarian red and white bracelet) is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and worn from March 1 until the appearance of the first blooming tree or the first stork.
Bulgarians decorate ourselves every year on March 1 – holiday of “Grannie Marta” (Baba Marta or Баба Марта). This custom is considered unique Bulgarian tradition.
The white color is a sign of beauty, symbolizes purity, innocence and joy. The red one is the color of vitality, health and love, victory, life and courage, the light of a rising or setting sun.
In the end of March you can see many trees adorned with red and white bracelets in Bulgaria. The tradition is that when person who wear martenitsa see blooming tree to tie it on a branch.
