The Legend of "Mărțișor"
The Mărțișor is a symbol of spring, where all of nature comes back to life.
The red threaded color symbolizes love, while the white threaded color
symbolizes health and prosperity.
It is said that girls will wash their faces all year with water from the snow
collected until March 1st , so that they will be beautiful and loving.
After 12 days of wearing the Mărțișor, it is then removed and can be tied
to a tree, so that it will bear lots of fruit throughout the respective year.
Valentinte’s Day
I close my eyes
And feel your salty lips
I reach out my hands
And hear your voice
Mingle with the waves
Lapping on the shore
I love you.
