Felicitari quilling de Martisor
Part 5

“Martisor” is a traditional celebration of the beginning of spring, on March 1.

 The name means “little March” in Romanian.

Toate felicitarile quilling facute de mine in aceasta

primavara le voi darui de 1 Martie celor dragi.

All the cards made ​​by me in this spring I will give to the loved ones on March 1.

I received all these spring amulets, at March 1st day, over the years.

“Martisor” is made from red and white string

from which a small decoration is tied and is offered to people on March 1.
 -

Women usually wear it pinned to their clothes for first 12 days of the month.

After the 12 days, the string binds on a tree branch.

It is believed that those who wear it will be strong and healthy

for the year to come and is also a symbol of spring.

It is an old tradition in Romania, the Republic of Moldova

and all territories inhabited by Romanians. Bulgarians have an almost similar custom.
