Baba Marta / Martenitsa

Честита Баба Марта! 🇧🇬 Today is Baba Marta Day in Bulgaria, one of the country’s most important and symbolic traditions, celebrated on 1st March to mark the arrival of spring. People exchange red and white woven bracelets called Martenitsa, symbolising health, luck, and new beginnings. You wear it until you see a blossoming tree or a stork, then you tie it to a branch to welcome the new season. It’s simple, but deeply rooted in Bulgarian culture and history, dating back centuries #bulgaria #tr
