Martenitsa

Martenitsa is a special tradition that happens in Bulgaria during March. It is a special time when people give each other small, red and white decorations called martenitsi.

The red and white colors are very important because they represent good health and happiness. The tradition says that if you wear a martenitsa, you will have good luck and be healthy all year long!

It's a fun way to celebrate the beginning of spring and to wish your friends and family good luck. People usually wear their martenitsi until they see a stork or a tree in bloom, then they tie them to the branches of the tree.

Martenitsi can be made out of all sorts of materials such as thread, wool, beads or even paper. Some people even make their own martenitsi! It's a very special tradition that brings people together and makes them happy.
