Baba Marta Has Arrived in Bulgaria
<p>The martenitsi indicate that Baba Marta Day, celebrated on March 1st, is fast approaching. On that day, Bulgarians exchange martenitsi, wishing each other health and happiness.</p>
<p>Martenitsi can be gifted as bracelets, tied around one’s wrist, or pinned to one’s clothing as a type of brooch. In recent years, I’ve noticed martenitsi as necklaces becoming popular, and I even spotted a couple of earrings during my recent travel to seaside city of Burgas.</p>
