"Martisor" is a Romanian tradition in which Women are celebrated through the gift of a silky white and red thread which is tied into a bow that carries a small trinket. Martisor is diminutive of March (Martie in Romanian) and symbolizes spring's arrival. According to archaeological research, the Mărțișor traces its history to more than 8,000 years ago. Some ethnologists believe that the Mărțișor celebration has Roman origins, others support the theory that it is an old Dacian tradition.
Even if you're not Romanian, come with your significant other and friends. You will undoubtedly have fun, meet great people, and feel a little Romanian!
