Spring customs

4th Primary School of Pefki

March or March or First March bracelet

The first thing people are afraid of in March is the sun. The sun that burns and tans the faces of children. To prevent the effect of the sun, they tie it to the wrist or the big toe in March, that is, a twisted thread, white and red or even gold, after first hanging it on rose branches and exposing it to the stars of the night
