Martenitsa
Category: Personal Tags: Tradition March 1, 2010 at 10:19 AMThere is an old, old, old bulgarian tradition. On March 1 everybody ties a bracelet, prepared of red and white threads to all the persons he loves. That’s a way to wish good health and to meet the spring. When the guy, to whom the martenica has been tied, sees a stork, he has to replace it of his hand and tie it to a tree – for fruitfulness.
Few days ago I received an invitation to visit the post office. My sister has told me that she has sent me a letter with several martenitsa. I took my letter and today I’m gonna wear one of them. :-)
As a bad painter, I drew one not so beautiful martenitsa for all the people I love. I’m wishing you good health, guys! :-)
Félicitations
