Please join us on Saturday, March 1 from 11:15 am to 1:00 pm for a REEECxEEI Crafternoon event! We will enjoy festive snacks as we celebrate Baba Marta and make our own martenitsi. On March 1 all across the Balkans, people celebrate the martenitsa/martisor/martinka, the known symbol of spring. Participants exchange small red and white adornments that symbolize health, prosperity, and the triumph of life over a cold and dark winter. These tokens are worn as bracelets, pins, or charms until the first signs of spring emerge, whereupon they are tied to blossoming trees.
Честита Баба Марта!
