During the weekend the children from the town of Kazanlak can take part in the martenitsa workshop organized by the newest museum in Kazanlak "Ahinora", which is a branch of Art Gallery- Kazanlak. The hosts invite all children aged 5 to 12 and explain why the museum is called "Ahinora":
"We are sure that many children in Kazanlak know who the artist Ivan Milev is, not only because he was born in this town, but also because he painted one of the most mysterious paintings called "Ahinora", the organizers said and clarified:
"Ahinora was the wife of Khan Asparuh (who founded Bulgaria in 681) and according to one of the legends she made the first martenitsa. This happened many centuries ago when the khan crossed the Danube, and Ahinora lost contact with him. A legend about the spring amulet, which we adorn ourselves with on March 1, has it that after waiting for news for a long time, Ahinora finally tied an intertwined white and red thread on the leg of a swallow and let it fly to convey a message of health and love to her beloved one"
