Happy Baba Marta Day!

[Sticks and Stones]

Baba Marta means "Grandmother March" and is celebrated in Bulgaria. She has contrasting moods, (not unlike the weather during the Month of March) therefore most of the customs connected to her are aimed at pleasing her and making her happy, in hopes she will respond with sunny and warm weather.

On or before Baba Marta, red and white tassels are given to each other to wear, for ensuring prosperity and good health.
