The 1st of March – "Martisor" holiday

Dear Pridnestrovians!

I heartily congratulate you on the holiday of Martisor, the holiday that marks the beginning of spring. The Martisor Arts Festival is held in Pridnestrovie every year, according to the established tradition. The international status of the festival is natural: the Pridnestrovian land unites rich and original cultural traditions of the Moldovan, Ukrainian and Russian ethnic groups. It is difficult to remain indifferent to the extravaganza of music and dance, poetic word and theatrical performance, to everything that teaches us to empathize, that saturates the soul with beauty and spirituality, enriches the inner world with an understanding of the priceless heritage of our ancestors.

I am sure that the organizers and participants of the festival will give Pridnestrovians a wonderful holiday that will fill their hearts with kindness and love. May all your aspirations come true, may good luck, unchanging creative spirit and inspiration become an integral attribute of all your undertakings!

of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
