Women's Day
The 8th of March is a celebration of both Mother’s Day and Women’s Day in Romania. On this special day, I wish you "comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, love to complete your life!"
Happy Women’s Day and a bunch of flowers via this video!

And, if you want to see it, here you are a brief promo of the Carnival of Vinaròs.
We have Carnival holidays from tomorrow, Friday 4th March until next Monday 7th March. I hope my students will show you some pictures of the Carnival events next week.

“Mărţişor”
There is an old tradition in Romania to celebrate the 1st of March by offering a tiny gift, called “mărţişor”, as a symbol of the spring to come, to people we care about. It also symbolizes the rebirth of nature. Literally, the word means little March. Nowadays, men offer women such a talisman object, also consisting of a jewel or a small decoration like a flower, an animal or a heart, tied to a red and white string. It is believed that the one who wears the red and white string will be powerful and healthy all year round.
