Martisor is a traditional Romanian celebration that marks the beginning of spring, observed on March 1st. It involves the exchange of small tokens, usually red and white strings tied together, symbolizing the arrival of warmer weather and the renewal of nature. These tokens often come with a small charm or trinket, representing good luck and health. The name "Martisor" comes from the word "Martie," which means March in Romanian. People give these tokens to friends and family as a gesture of love and appreciation. The custom is deeply rooted in Romanian culture and is celebrated with various local traditions and festivities.
