Happy Baba Marta (Grandma March) Day!
The Martenitsa (мартеница) hung up outside our house this morning |
Susanna, my wife, spent the first six years of her life in Bulgaria and, as some of you may know, there is in that country a tradition of wearing, or hanging up on a tree, a martenitsa on March 1st, Baba Marta (Grandma March) Day. Although, we don’t have any close Bulgarian connections today, Susanna and I still often mark the day—as we did this morning.
Happy Baba Marta (Grandma March) Day!
