ALSO DID YALL NOTICE THE МАРТЕНИЧКИ/MĂRȚIȘOR ON BUL'S CHEST AND RO AND MOL'S HATS
basically мартенички are red/white twisted threads that are given out to friends, relatives, colleagues on 1st of march in bulgaria, it has an ancient balkan pagan origin
in romania, they have mărțișor which is something similar but it's worn mostly by women and kids, men wore it rarely
basically these red/white threads are tied to blooming trees if u see a swallowtail or a stork or a blooming tree, the point of the custom is to bring fortune to the wearer (in bulgaria, there used to be this custom where u put the martenitsa under a big rock and later, you'd look under the rock and make omens based on what ur seeing - types of bugs, worms, etc)
also, interestingly, there's the figure of баба Марта in bulgaria and the figure of baba dochia in romania - they're some sort of temperamental grandmas who can be very cruel, bulgarian baba marta can be angry but she can also quickly become calm and happy, this references the quick weather changes in march
perhaps there was some sort of dacian/thracian elderly female deity that had something to do with fertility, fortune and spring? maybe this is the origin of the holiday?
