DAY 425

martisor(little march) is the name for the red and white string from which a small decoration is tied and which is offered by people on the 1st day of march.
giving this talisman to people is an old custom and it is believed that the one who wears it will be strong and healthy for the year to come;it is also a symbol of the coming spring.
