Mărțișor - an introduction

A few weeks ago I received a mysterious envelope. It was from my father. We are in the age of emails and messages and my father is really not the old-fashioned type of person to send me letters. What was inside the envelope? These bracelets.

These bracelets are part of my favourite Romanian tradition - the Mărțișor. I started writing about them here as a short post, but I like them too much and ended up writing a full article about them. Take a look at #BSideBlog - the new article will show up soon!
