Trakia-Tours
a journey through the bulgarian history
Martenitsi are a unique Bulgarian tradition, when people give them as a wish for health on March 1st. This day is connected with the coming of Spring, with the beginning of nature's renewal after a hard winter. The traditional martenitsa is made of intertwined red and white woolen yarn. These martenitsi are also placed on pets, farm animals, and fruit trees.
