Each holds red and white martenitsa dolls. The wheelchair wheel covers are decorated with red and white stripes. Behind them are blossoming spring trees and a traditional Bulgarian house. Text at the top reads “Chestita Baba Marta!” and a banner at the bottom says “Happy International Wheelchair Day!”

Double celebration today! Честита Баба Марта & Happy International Wheelchair Day!
