Spring is coming tomorrow!

In my country on the first day of March we celebrate the coming of the spring. There are a lot of legends and myths about, but I believe that the old tradition is coming from our forfathers the Dacs, 8000 or more years ago. The Dacs were the most courageous part of the Thracs and had an arian genetic from the people who lived this part of Europe in those times. The Dacs ealders were very sage. They could know if a young couple would be compatible and happy and live a long life together. The older and sage ones took some blood drops from each partner and put them on a plate. Now if one`s blood drops were easily gliding to the other`s blood drops it was the best of all the signs! The tradition survived to nowaday in many forms but it was simplified somehow. So today the youngs,on the first day of the month of March go to those whom they love, or are attracted to, with a cord, made of two silk or cotton threads, one white and one red. On this cord they put a tiny symbolic object made of silver or even gold, but could be made of any matter. In fact, all people exchange between them these beautiful objects, as a sign that spring, love, regeneration and new beginnings are now there, at our hand and for all of us, women or men, olders or youngers! Of course the spring is always a rejuvenating season of love of any kind!
