Martisor

Now some of you might be thinking, "Spring is in just three weeks!" and ordinarily you would be correct. However...


Here in Romania is has arrived with the holiday of Martisor. It is celebrated on the first day of March to announce the arrival of spring and the warm seasons. I particularly like this tradition because it means we ladies get flowers and gifts and kisses from the boys we know or work with. They give little pins that the girls wear on their shirts for a few weeks to bring health and wealth for the coming year.


Happy Spring!!
