Martenitsi 2020 / Мартеници 2020

Martenitsa is my favorite Bulgarian tradition. I am convinced that this is one of the things that we must introduce to the world. This year I made little ladybugs and beesand of course, everybody's favorite, chilli pepper. The snowdrops are ready too.

The Garlic brooch is а favorite this year.

Blossoms become fruits


Martenitsa (Bulgarian: мартеница,) is a small piece of adornment, made of white and red yarn and worn from March 1 until around the end of March (or the first time an individual sees a stork, swallow, or budding tree). The name of the holiday is Baba Marta. "Baba" (баба) is the Bulgarian word for "grandmother" and Mart (март) is the Bulgarian word for the month of March. Baba Marta is a Bulgarian tradition related to welcoming the upcoming spring. The month of March, according to Bulgarian folklore, marks the beginning of springtime. Therefore, the first day of March is a traditional holiday associated with sending off winter and welcoming spring.
