This attribute of spring is worn pinned to clothing for the whole month, and on March 31st they are removed and put on the blossoming fruit trees. It is believed that this ritual brings people success throughout the next year. According to legend, if you make a wish hanging your Mărţişor on a tree, it is sure to come true. In early April in many towns and villages of Moldova one can see trees decorated with Mărţişors.
