!!!!!a custom of March_Greece

Have you worn your "March"? We have !!!

But what is "March"?

"March" or "Marchy" is a very old custom,which is thought to be rooted back in ancient Greece. It is spread throughout the Balkan states. So, we're certain that our friends in Bulgaria have already worn their "Martenitsa", equivalent for our own "March"!!!

It is a bracelet, consisted of white and red thread, swivelled, which is used to be worn from  1st to 31st of March. According to folk tradition, "March" is worn mainly from children in order to protect their faces from the bright spring sun when they come out of their houses to play in the yards. 

That's why, in order to avoid ourselves "getting caught by the sun", we swivelled our threads and made our "Marches"! We'll take them off the last day of the month and leave them on tree branches, so the birds can take them and use them to build their nests.

maypole_Greece

12 dancers are holding a maypole (strip, ribbon) and are dancing simultaneously in couples, singing a traditional greek song.

The number 12 suggests the 12 months of the year.

The circular dance symbolises the switching of the four seasons of the year. 

To the greek community, the Maypole symbolises peace, concord, collaboration and co-responsibility. 

Our school Maypole consists of eight colourful ribbons, one for each collaborate country in the European programme Erasmus+. Our students` dance in the schoolyard through the Greek Carnival, sends a message of reconciliation , partnership, co-responsibility between students and teachers from France, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Slovakia, Latvia, Spain and Portugal.
