Mărțișor

What is celebrated

Not a name day but the start of spring. You give a mărțișor — a red-and-white braided string with a small charm — to the women and girls in your life.

How it is celebrated

It is worn pinned to the chest through March. You give it to colleagues, your mother, your sister, friends — not only a partner. It is a broad gesture, not a romantic one.

What people say

Primăvară frumoasă!

What is given

  • The mărțișor itself
  • A few snowdrops alongside it

What to avoid

  • Giving it only to a partner and forgetting colleagues — it gets noticed
  • Confusing it with 8 March

Never miss this one again
