| Bulgarian Martenitsa |
| Dear Friends and Visitors, A few years ago, in 1999 I made several pages about the Bulgarian Martenitsa, in order to send greetings in the web and to explain what does Martenitsa mean. There was almost nothing in the WWW about this unique, marvelous and antient Bulgarian tradition. Cause of the great interest I decided to collect more pictures and stories and to publish all here. I'll be happy to read your comment. Friendly Nadejda Zaharieva P.S. Now I am so glad to see a lot of information and pictures published in different web sites. I would like to express my gratitude to all friends and visitors for the kind and warm words and support. THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS :-))) !!! |

| Many of the fabric threads are quite like dolls, and are called Pijo and Penda. |
| There are no rules on how to write Bulgarian with the latin letters, so you could find different spellings Мартеница - Martenitsa, Martenitza, Martenica; Баба Марта - Grandma Marta, Baba Marta, Granny March |
| Chestita Baba Marta |
| Happy Granny March |
