Bulgaria's Colorful Tradition: Unraveling the Mysteries of Baba Marta and the Martenitsa
On March 1, Bulgarians celebrate Baba Marta - one of the most beloved Bulgarian traditions, preserved to this day. We associate the holiday with the symbolic beginning of spring and the renewal of nature. On this day, everyone presents their loved ones with martenitsi - special ornaments made of white and red yarn. They are a symbol of health, luck and strength during the year.
