Come get yourself a goodluck charm for this year and
celebrate the beginning of the spring!

Romanians have a beautiful ancient tradition on the first
day of March : Martisor (Mărţişor, Romanian
transcript, or Amulet in English).The Martisor is made of
silky red-white threads (tied into a bow) and small
handcrafted objects : flowers, horse shoes, leaves,
bumblebees, animals, birds, tiny suns or stars, red hearts,
and many others. This is a symbol of the coming spring,
which the person wears pinned to her shirt on this day, and
for the whole month of March. Similar traditions can be
found in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania.

The Romanian Student Association is selling hand-crafted,
self designed "Martisoare" in Blanchard 6-8PM every day this
week and next week.

You can wear it yourself, offer it to loved ones or send it
to your parents and relatives!
