Martisor

is the traditional celebration of the beginning of the spring in Romania and Moldova, on 1 March. The day's name is the diminutive of March (in Romanian Martie), and thus means something like "little or dear March". Men offer women a small decorative object also called Martisor consisting of a jewel or symbolizing a flower, an animal, etc. tied to a red and white string.

This is a symbol of the coming spring, which the woman wears pinned to her blouse on this day, and up to two weeks after. it is believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be strong and healthy for the year to come.
