From March 1st, it is a tradition, especially for children,<br \/>\nto wear a bracelet made of twisted white and red thread (see photo). The white symbolizes purity, and the red color stands for life and passion.<\/p>\n<p>Children wear the bracelet for the entire month and remove it on the last day of March.<br \/>\nAfter taking off the bracelet, they hang it in a fruit tree, so the tree will remain healthy and give many fruits.<\/p>\n<p>However, the custom varies in different areas in Greece. For example, in some regions you can remove the bracelet when you see a swallow returning for spring,<br \/>\nso the bird can use the thread to build its nest.<\/p>\n<p>The 1st of March also indicates the beginning of Spring in Greece, and the hope for warm days and a lot of sun.<br \/>\nTherefore, especially for young children, wearing the Marti bracelet also means you are protected from the burning sun.<\/p>\n<p>We wish you a very nice month of March and a lot of sunny days. \u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03cc \u03bc\u03ae\u03bd\u03b1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>On the 1st of March, do not forget to wish everybody \u201cKalo Mina\u201d = Enjoy the month of March.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">++++++++++++++++++++++++<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interested to also learn how to say the 12 Months in Greek?<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/h6Mg4H33Fu4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Then click here and watch the video with teacher Terpsi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(and do not forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCILTfI7JNa3wxWf6tTpyWzg\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">subscribe to our YouTube Channel<\/span><\/a> to find more language videos )<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37269\" src=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/months-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"months in greek\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/months-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/months.jpg 1079w, https:\/\/omilo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/months-705x413.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you like Greek traditions, then read more about the bracelet for the month of March; The &#8222;Marti bracelet&#8220; or just \u201cMarti\u201d is an ancient custom for the beginning of Spring.
