Spring is almost here! Martenitsa/M?r?i?or/Martenitza/Martenitsa is a celebration at the beginning of spring, on March the 1st in Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova. Romanian ethnographers consider M?r?i?or and martenitsa to be clearly related, and of Thracian origin.The martenitsa is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and usually in the form of two dolls, a white male and a red female. Martenitsi are worn from Baba Marta Day (March 1) until the wearer first sees a stork, swallow, or blossoming tree (or until late March). The name of the holiday means "Grandma March" in Bulgarian and Macedonian and the holiday and the wearing of Martenitsi are a Bulgarian tradition related to welcoming the spring, which according to Bulgarian folklore begins in March.These two little dolls present "PIJO and PENDA", which are the most popular image and have a special meaning.
