Put a dish over the "a" and a little squiggly thing under the "t" and "s" and say quickly.
Martisor is an Old Romanian tradition that celebrates the beginning of Spring - March 1st. Symbolically it correlates to women and this is a day when little gifts and flowers are given. These are two that I have received from friends. The red and white string symbolizes fertility and the person who wears it will be strong and healthy for the year to come. I'll be glad to be strong and healthy but not so sure about the fertility part. Ironically, we woke up to snow this morning. We've been told we are survivors of the worst winter in over 60 years. Aren't we the lucky ones?
Primavara Fericita!
