The 1st of March is an important date in Bulgaria. We celebrate Baba Marta (Granny March) who brings with her the end of the cold winter and the beginning of the spring.

The workshop will start with a story about Baba Marta and her two brothers January and February. To honour Baba Marta children wear twisted white and red thread on their wrists, called Martenitsa (symbol of health and abundance). Children love creating their own Martenitsa which can also be attached to the clothes and decorated with different DIY shapes.
