On March, the arrival of spring is celebrated with little good luck charms, tied with two white and red threads.
It is a typically Romanian tradition, with very distant origins, but still very much alive! On March 1st, to celebrate the arrival of spring, Romanians offer themselves (especially to women) small amulets representing a four-leaf clover, a flower or a character. To these lucky charms are attached two intertwined threads (one white, one red), like the two seasons still intertwined on this date: red symbolizes winter, white spring. As March 1st approaches, the sidewalks of the cities are filled with stalls of mărțișoare.
