spring are associated with Baba Marta / an old woman,
who gives the children martenitsi / and the month of
March. On March 1, people and animals wear martenitsi /
interwoven white and red threads / for health and
wellbeing.

time an individual sees of stork, a swallow or bidding tree – the first
signs that spring has arrived.
