The tradition of the Martisor is said to have originated in Roman times. "Martisorul" are small objects that women receive on 1st of March from men, as a symbol of their respect and admiration. Initially made just from two twisted threads of wool, one coloured red and one white, the trinket has evolved, incorporating a small piece of jewelry or something hand crafted attached to the red-white lace. The red is said to represent the summer, and the heat, while the white represents the winter, and the cold. They are many popular stories related to its origins, in different geographical areas. However, traditionally, women wear the martisor all March, as it is believed to bring strength and health for the year to come. Some women pin one or more 'martisoare' on their blouse, while others just wear a red-white lace on their wrist. At the end of March, the red-white threads are tied to a branch of a fruit tree, said to bring wealth.
