For Greeks, it is customary in the month of March (Martis) to wear braided bracelets in white and red (martakia). According to folklore, if you are wearing a martaki, the sun of early spring will not burn your skin. The colors symbolize the rosy cheeks and white complexion of young girls. Also, red is the color of love and life while white signifies purity and clarity.
