Happy Martisor!!

The Sad Kitten wishes all the Fetele in Romania a very Happy Mărțișor !!!

For those readers unfamiliar with this event: Mărțișor is a celebration at the beginning of meteorological spring, on the first of March in Romania, Moldova, and all territories inhabited by Romanians and Moldovans.




The word Mărțișor is the diminutive of marț, the old folk name for March (martie, in modern Romanian), and thus literally means "little March". It is also the name for the red and white string with hanging tassel customarily given by men to women on the 1st day of March. (source: Wikipedia)
