Marti – The first day of Spring

The first day of Spring, blue skies, filled with sunshine!Marti

Tradition has it, that mother’s, in order to protect their children from being burnt in the Greek sun; they would make them wear a “Marti”.

Handmade, this unique bracelet has red and white yarn woven together [ white for purity and red for life and passion]

This is to be worn, until, until the first stork or swallow, returns from migration, or, the first tree blossoms, signaling the arrival of spring.

Then, the bracelet is to be hung on a fruit tree, in order to ensue a good harvest of fruit.
