The
Tradition of Friendship Bracelets
The
tradition of friendship bracelets originates in central America
and particularly in Guatemala. The idea is that one friend gives
another a bracelet for them to wear to demonstrate their friendship.
Some versions of this tradition suggest that the bracelet should
be worn continuously until it naturally wears and falls off (we
don't insist on this!). Another variation allows the friend to
make a wish on receiving the bracelet which will come true when
the the bracelet is worn out.
Most
people wear friendship bracelets to demonstrate that they value
their friends and do not wear the bracelet continuously.
