According to our tradition, we carry a red and white wristband called martenitsa from March 1st to the day the storks arrive or we see a blossoming tree.
It’s too soon. I remember carrying martenitsa until mid April.

Happy Baba Marta!
We celebrate the 1st of March in Bulgaria and give away wristbands called Martenitsa. Then we wear the received Martenitsa until the storks arrive or the trees blossom. Once that happens, we can put the Martenitsa on a branch or under a stone.
We won’t let ourselves be set back by some already blossoming branches. We’ll wait for the storks this year.
