Martenitsa 1st March, Bulgaria

On 1st of March, we give each other a red and white bracelet, which we keep on until we see a stork or the first day of spring (late March). If you see a stork, depending on whether he is flying or in a static position, your year will either be filled with work or lazy. Once you take it off, you place it on a fruit tree and it is believed that the tree will be very fruitfull.
