How to get a feeling for "Europe"? There is no better way than showing interest in traditions of other countries. So for me Poland is a good place to learn more about Bulgaria! How?
When a friend saw my Bulgarian flatmate wearing a bracelet made of red and white threads she got very excited. She was the only one in the group who knew about the deeper meaning. One second later, everyone in the room was wearing the same bracelet!
Bulgarian people have a very special way to welcome spring. In Bulgaria, the martentitsi are exchanged all around between
family members, friends and colleagues. The red and white strings are given and donned as a way to greet the coming season and guarantee a healthy and fruitful year.
For a couple of days I didn't notice that nature was starting to be awake again, but suddenly I stopped at a very beautiful bush and decided to leave my bracelet there.
