Martenitsa Pizho and Penda traditional Bulgarian springtime symbol
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A typical Martenitsa consists of two small wool dolls, Pizho and Penda (Bulgarian: Пижо и Пенда).
Pizho, the male doll, is usually predominantly white; Penda, the female doll, is distinguished by her skirt and is usually predominantly red.
The red and white woven threads symbolize the wish for good health. They are the heralds of the coming of spring and of new life.
While white as a color symbolizes purity, red is a symbol of life and passion, and so some ethnologists have proposed that, in its very origins,
the custom might have reminded people of the constant cycle of life and death, the balance of good and evil, and the sorrow and happiness in human life.
The Martenitsa is also a stylized symbol of Mother Nature, the white symbolizing the purity of the melting white snow and the red setting of the sun, which
becomes more and more intense as spring progresses. These two natural resources are the source of life.
They are also associated with the male and female beginnings, and in their balance, with the need for balance in life.
