  2. In Greece we have also the custom "Martis" or "Martia". The 1rst of March the children wear this white-red thread called "Martis". Tradition says that wearing "Martis" they will not be burnt from the spring sun. They wear it until the first swallows arrive. Then the children let these threads on the trees, so that swallows will use them to make their nests.

  3. Thank you Yildiz and Anastasia!
    Martisor is a little piece of adornment tied to a string in a thread woven white and one red, which appears in the Romanian tradition and neighboring populations. Women and girls receive trinkets and wear them during March, as a sign of spring arrival.
