The first day of Spring in Romania is a celebration of giving. Small amulets are given to express feelings of love, joy, friendship, respect, and appreciation to women and children. This celebration has existed for over two thousand years. Tied to each amulet is red and white yarn.I enjoy buying the small trinkets to give to friends, colleagues, and Kyle's teachers. It has been interesting to see the creativity of artists each year. This is one Romanian cultural event that I have enjoyed taking part in.
