Ps: I am sorry I have yet to figure out how to put linksĮdit: I've finally figured out how to put the links. remember to view in full and remember also to thank the original artist. Guess sometimes ye just don't need anything else. Nonetheless, I do wish to thank " ~flakyou" for giving me the permission and letting me modify and use this beautiful and intriguing image that he was able to capture merely by using his mobile phone. at the moment I can't seem to put any other words to describe it and why I did it. Anyway, have a look at the result I think it is quite mind-boggling. As the red "don’t cross line" slightly resembles a marthenica, thus I thought why not put some text to accommodate it. While looking at the image I couldn’t help noticing the idea of making this into a e-card. It was only included in the search results because " ~flakyou" was wishing happy baba marta lucky for me.Īnyway, long story short. The image is called " don’t cross the line" and has seemingly nothing to do with baba marta. Nevertheless, while having a closer look at the search results I stumbled upon an image by a deviant named " ~flakyou". However, to me surprise I was only able to find a few things. Then I thought, lets search one of the most creative communities online. However, none of them was creative or original enough. Well, I must add that I did manage to find many. I first got the idea when I was searching for a e-card. Well, all this brings me back to this little thing. Once you see a stork, you tie your martenica to a fruit tree. The tradition says one should wear them until we see a stork (as a migrating bird, this is the true sign the weather has turned). They believe that "a martenica" is going to give them good health and joy in the coming spring. It's a special gift, woven from white and red threads. On March 1st the Bulgarian people amongst others give "a martenica" to one another. Baba marta is one of the most observed traditions, and marks the end of winter & the beginning of spring.
