Sweet Martenitsi for Baba Marta: A Unique Twist on a Bulgarian Tradition

Estimated Reading Time: 5-6 Minutes

What is Baba Marta and the Tradition of Martenitsi?

Baba Marta is a beloved Bulgarian holiday celebrated on 1 March, marking the arrival of spring. According to tradition, Baba Marta (meaning "Grandmother March") is a folklore figure who brings the end of winter and the beginning of warmer days. To celebrate, Bulgarians exchange Martenitsi – red and white adornments symbolizing health, luck, and prosperity.

The tradition of gifting Martenitsi is rooted in ancient history and is closely linked to the welcoming of spring. The red and white threads are symbolic: red represents vitality and health, while white symbolizes purity and joy. People wear Martenitsi on their wrists or clothes until they see the first blooming tree or a stork, symbolizing the arrival of spring.
