An old legend says that on the first day of March, the beautiful spring, coming out of the forest saw the risen one snowdrop under the snow. Impressed as he wanted to help him out of the snow and giving dry and thorny branches they cover. Old Winter was so enraged, that he called toxic substances and storm damage to delicate and feeble flower. Spring flower covered with her hands and so feeble was injured because of thorns, from seeping into her finger a drop of warm blood over snowdrop, bringing it to life so. Spring beat the winter, and red blood on white snow and it is Martisorului cord colors with snowdrop herald spring. Thus Martisor became the symbol of spring.
