March Day in Bulgaria is one of the most popular holidays for young and old.
By donning the red and white martenitsas, we, the Bulgarians, symbolically mark the beginning of the new agricultural year, the arrival of spring and the rebirth of nature.
Today we are happy to give martenitsa to our friends and family and wish them the priceless gift of health!
