NeedleWorkMonday - 1 March Tradition - Martenitsa

Every year in my country the beginning of spring is celebrated. On the 1st of March we have a tradition which consists in preparing and giving white and red threads to people close and familiar to us. In many cases these are presented as a necklace, a groove or a brooch, and they can be of any shape and material as long as those colors are present.

This year I decided to make martenitsas for a family friend.
The family consists of two parents and two children (a girl and a boy).

Here's what I prepared for the mother - a cute little mushroom key chain.

You can see how I made it in this post I participated in a martenichka making challenge.

Всяка година в моята държава се празнува започването на пролетта. На 1-ви март имаме традиция която се изразява в приготвянето и подаряването на близки и познати на нас хора бели и червени конци. В много случаи те се представят като колие, грувна или брошка, като те могат да имат всякаква форма и материали стига тези цветове да присъстват.

Тази година реших да изработя за едно приятелско семейство мартеници.
Семейството се състои от двама родители и две деца (момиче и момче).

Ето какво приготвих за майката - малка симпатична гъба, ключодържател.

Можете да разгледате как съм я направила в този пост участвах в предизвикателство за направата на мартеница.

I made for the men - bracelets because I couldn't think of many men's options for keychains with these colors.

На мъжете приготвих гривни, защото не се сетих за много мъжки варианти за ключодържатели с тези цветове.

Tradition dictates that the martenitsa is worn from the 1st of March until the person wearing the martenitsa sees a cherry blossom tree or a stork - because they are the harbingers of spring. After seeing a blossoming tree or a stork, the martenitsa should be taken off and put under a large stone or tied to the blossoming tree (possibly a fruit tree).

I believe that our planet is becoming more and more polluted, and even if we follow our traditions we can also do harm. That's why I chose to make key chains for the girls, because this way it will extend the life of the yarns and the inputs.

Martenitsas are given for health and for fertility of crops and domestic animals.

Традицията повелява, че мартеницата се носи от 1-ви март до момента в който човека който носи мартеница види цъфнало дърво (черешово) или щъркел - защото те са предвесниците на пролетта. След като видят цъфнало дърво или щъркел мартеницата трябва да се свали и да се сложи под голям камък или да се завърже за цъфналото дърво (по възможност плодно дърво).

Вярвам че планетата ни все повече се замърсява, и дори да следваме традициите си можем също да вредим. Затова предпочетох на момичетата да направя ключодържатели, защото по -този начин ще се удължи времето на експлоатация на преждите и вложените материали.

Мартениците се подаряват за здраве и за плодородие на посевите и домашните животни.
