When the martenitsa is taken off, many people tie it to a blooming tree, one that they would like to be especially fruitful. That's why in the beginning of March, you can see the martenitsa hanging in the branches as you walk outside.
The martenitsa became a symbol of peace and love, health and happiness. The white color symbolizes purity and honesty in relationships, and the red color means life, passion, and cordiality in friendship and mutual love.
