The 1st of March is a very Special Holiday in Romania.
This is the day when we welcome the coming of Spring in a special way. This is a very old tradition in our country, it is the day when people wish each other helth and happiness and exchange a little amulette tied up with a red and white silk threads. Thes ones can be worn on their clothes ,on their wrist ,like a bracelet. Boys and girls who like each other also offer to each other or exchange these charms.
There are so many legends, fairy tales about the origin and the custom of this wonderful custom which is very old, from many centuries ago.One of this legend is about a brave young and brave Prince and a very beautiful Princess . The red means the blood shed by the brave Prince an it is a sign of strength and life . The life symbolises the purity of the Princess . The Flowers we have to offer to the ones we love on this day are the Snowdrops, together with this MARTISOR.
We are preparing some MARTISOARE for you, to be sent by post. You will receive them soon!
All the pupils of the 8th Year B
