About this deal

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. The fight was short, a sword against a claw, a good heart against a wicked one, an honest mind against a twisted one, and surprisingly (but not to me and I hope that not to you either) Braveheart won.

The chimney sweep martisor, which is a small figurine of a chimney sweep tied with the red and white string, is among the martisoare most sought by Romanians, as it is said that the chimney sweep brings good luck. 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. 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.Options are plentiful, ranging from simple red and white cord bracelets to precious stones and luxurious jewelry pieces. So they tied together two flowers, one white, to symbolize spring and rebirth, a new chance for humankind, and one red in remembrance of the lad’s sacrifice, and of his love for freedom and a fair chance in life for everyone.

Women in Romania are also celebrated on March 8 - the day when, as a sign of respect and gratitude, they receive flowers and symbolic gifts from the men in their lives. On this day, and even until March 8, men offer women martisoare - small symbolic items tied with a red and white entwined cord, as a sign of respect and love.However, giving a little nickel tied to a red and white string is an old custom and was originally designated for both men and women. 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.

Ethnographers say that the “old ladies” myth is one of the most important in the Romanian tradition. Romanian customs behind this lies a range of symbols on the transition seasons and rituals to attract good fortune for the year. She is dressed with 9 sheepskin coats but as it rains the clothes get heavier and Dochia has to get rid of the skins.The Martisor was therefore offered for good luck on the first day of the New Year, together with heartfelt wishes for health, happiness and love. The first day of March brings with it a host of customs and traditions of Martisor -(trinket ) , a festival dedicated to the brink of spring renewal time. That is why young people started weaving two threads, red and white, and to offer them to the loved ones.

The tradition of martisor marks the beginning of spring and changing of seasons in Romania, being just the first of a series of celebrations in March. Some legends say that the red-white thread was first spun by Old Dokia, Baba Dochia, as she took her sheep grazing up the mountain. Everything went sad: birds did not sing anymore, springs were not flowing, children did not laugh anymore.As he did so, more energy roamed through his body, and more fire and light his presence radiated… One day Sun crossed his arms and made up his mind. Braveheart chased after Dragon and, eventually, much later than expected for he did not know where Dragon lived and had only the tracks left behind to read, follow only the broken flower heads streaming the way, and pay attention only to the tell-tale signs of burned bushes and destroyed structures, later, much later, he reached the Dragon’s lair. Traditionally, both women and men used to wear Martisor pinned to their jackets and blouses, close to the heart, until the last day of March, when they would hang it to a fruit-tree twig.
