Baba Marta Day is a special celebration in Bulgaria on March 1st, marking the arrival of spring. People give each other red and white yarn bracelets called "martenitsi." These are symbols of health and happiness. The red represents life and health, while the white stands for purity and long life. Bulgarians wear these bracelets until they see the first stork or blooming tree, which means spring is here. Then, they hang the bracelets on a tree or place them under a rock. It is a joyful way for families and friends to welcome the warmer, sunnier days of spring together.
