Do you know those little ribbons or brooches "in red and white wool threads?
They are given away in Bulgaria in the first days of March with good wishes for health and warmth, for the winter in Bulgaria very, very cold and dominated by ice and snow.
The two threads are twisted and often share in a white and a red line, from which then two figures: the red and the white Pischu Penda.
Pischu is red with the blood of the valiant struggle, while Penda white as milk, and so is the mother's love.
Both help to calm the old grandmother Baba Marta, which can become malignant in the transitional period between ice-cold winter and early-summer heat. But it should give freely without much outcry and protest the field for the spring.
Sun gives you are in Bulgaria with a "happy grandmother Marta "the martenitsi:
Tschestita Baba Marta
They may only get paid to buy, never himself or causes
you'll put on the breast pocket, worn as a brooch or bracelet
And when you first cracked buds on.. shrub or tree, the first stork or swallow the first look - but no later than March 21, because since the winter (Baba Marta), dies binds to its Martenitsa to a tree or shrub follow
Just as the seasons of the natural cycle. that martenitsi nature are returned which you can also put under a stone and make a wish.. o)
