Mărţişor is the traditional celebration of the beginning of the spring (and until 1701 of the New Year) in Romania on the 1st of March. The day's name is the diminutive of March (in Romanian Martie), and thus means something like "little" or "dear March". Nowadays, men offer women a talisman object also called Mărţişor, consisting of a jewel or a small decoration like a flower, an animal or a heart, tied to a red and white string.
