Martisor and Zolnierze Wykleci Day Good morning sunshine! Good morning lovely month of March!
Today it's an odd day to celebrate, for me, as I love both Polish and Romanian customs and on this day, the 1st of March, two different types of events are remembered in my two homelands. Poland celebrates today the "Zolnierze wykleci" (the translation would be "The National Doomed Soldiers Memorial Day") which is a sad rememberance; yet Romania celebrates a very positive and festive "Martisor" day - as the first day of spring, where we wear the symbol of red-white on our chests, for good luck :) I guess it's a yin & yang day for me... celebrating both, so let me tell you a bit more about it.
