Product Information

The two threads twisted together, red and white or red and black, symbolized the unity of opposing forces: summer-winter, heat-cold, fertility-barrenness, light-dark, but also fierce, tumultuous life, youth, passionate love (red) twisted around purity, candid, clean, and new, virginal light (white). General explanations have been given by the observers of the tradition for the object's appearance: the strings are believed to represent "funia anului" - the year's "rope", intertwining summer and winter, [7] the pendant symbolized fortune and wealth, or, like a talisman, brought and preserved good health and beauty to the wearer. The Year’s Rope was the link between summer and winter, black and white representing the opposition and the unity of opposites: light and dark, warm and cold, life and death.

You see, the Geto-Dacian tribes who inhabited during the 4th century BC the territory we now today as Romania, celebrated the New Year on the 1st of March. And the Sun shone again, the humans were happy again, children played once more, flowers bloomed, rainbows formed bridges, and birds flew underneath ad over them. One can also choose to give a heart-shaped martisor, which is the symbol of love and affection, a star martisor, which also represents good luck, or an owl martisor, which is the symbol of wisdom.

She is the author of 18 book, notably historical fiction Dreamland, Transylvania's History A to Z, bestseller Joyful Trouble, contemporary literary fiction Silent Heroes. The winter coat hanging in the closet and the little birds tweeting at my window in the morning, along with the bright rays of sun falling tenderly over the buzzing city streets on March 1st, have always been my first day of spring. By now it was pitch dark for the sun was still not shining, and all humans were mourning, their wailing having replaced the song of birds and the singing of streams.

Their reputation of lucky charms might be long gone, but their design seems more eye-catching than ever. In Moldova the pendant started being made in the shape of ethnographic objects in the later part of the 21st century. New without tags: A brand-new, unused and unworn item that is not in its original retail packaging .Every year I share the story of the day with my friends and have little gifts for my dear women friends. There are many versions of this myth, whose name seems to come from the Byzantine calendar that is on March 1 when the Holy Martyr Evdokia was celebrated. Next in March, the Romanians celebrate Women’s Day on March 8, the tradition of Babele (old ladies) between March 1 and March 9, and 40 de Mucenici (40 Martyrs) on March 9. Keep in mind that most Romanian women expect to receive something at the beginning of March (especially on March 1) - either a traditional mărțișor or its more expensive version, a piece of jewellery with a red-white string, or a flower from the most important men in their lives, as well as from colleagues and business partners.
