Ethno martenitsas 2012: Ethnographic Museum Burgas strikes backThursday, 16 Feb 2012 - Ethnographical Museum
Ethnographic Museum Burgas is preparing to welcome Baba Marta (Granny Marta). The heavy blankets and rugs have been beaten out on the sun, everything is clean and tidy, because as the tradition says for the 1st of March the Bulgarian woman thoroughly cleans her house, takes the rubbish away, burns the old broom in the yard and so invites home the new and better.
You can find handmade authentic martenitsas on our museum stand. Each martenitsa is different, but contains the binding elements: symbols for health, strength and long life; to prevent the evil eye and mischief forces; for fertility and prosperity.
Martenitsas with double effect from the Natural History Museum Burgas - unique combination of minerals and traditional red and white threadsSaturday, 11 Feb 2012 - Natural-History Museum
The curators of the Natural-history exposition in Burgas have created a unique collection of bracelet martenitsas that can be seen and purchased in the museum on Burgas, 30 K. Fotinov st.
Besides the traditional threads in red and white for health and prosperity, the traditional “1st of March symbol” is combined with various minerals - rose quartz, rock crystal, the hair of Venus, turquoise, aquamarine, tiger eye, agate, amethyst, sun stone, mother of pearl, coral and many others.
The protection of evil forces is thus increased as many stones have particular qualities. For example carnelian can be worn by all; it has strong healing effect and strengthens health. Aventurine and pink quartz help in love. Rock crystal sharpens the mind and strengthens memory, tiger eye protects from the evil eyes.
The idea here is not to make a profit /items are available for the modest 0,50lv/, but to promote Natural-history exposition. We want more people from Burgas and its guests to enjoy the collections displayed in the Regional Museum Burgas. This is why our martenitsas go in a package with the museum logo.
Furthermore in the museum you can find a wonderful gift for Valentine's Day, 8 March or any other occasion to surprise your loved one. Here you can find small pendants and earrings from minerals as well as mineral samples in unprocessed form. Unique and unforgettable, they will deliver your personal message and help against different aches.
If you do not know which stone is appropriate for which star sign, museum specialists will help you and tell you more about the mineral you’ve choose.

St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is one of the most righteous Christian saints, honoured since ancient times in the settlements along the Bay of Burgas and regarded as a master of the sea, tamer of storms and sea elements. It is believed that the saint Wonderworker is sailing on a golden ship and he can be always found at the place where people are in need of assistance.
The tradition dictates that no fisherman, sailor or member of their families may work on St. Nicholas Day, and neither shall any vessel or boat enter into the sea, except for the ritual of remembrance.
On the table at home people put a dish called Ribnik – it is made out of carp stuffed with rice, bulgur, walnuts and raisins, cooked coated in batter. Over the dough the spine, tail and head of the fish are outlined. On the table the Ribnik dish is broken so as to preserve the head bones in the shape of a cross, which is cast into the sea for health and wellbeing.
