The “Marti bracelet” or just “Marti” is an ancient custom for the beginning of Spring. It is believed it dates back to ancient Greece and it is known all over the Balkans.

The name is derived from the Greek word for the month of March, “Martios”! From March 1st, it is a tradition, especially for children, to wear a bracelet made of twisted white and red thread. The bracelet represents the beginning of Spring and also it is a “protection” from the strong Greek sun.
On the 1st day of April, girls take off their bracelets and they hang them on a tree or a plant. Doing so, they keep the tree happy for the rest of Springtime.
