Different Customs and Traditions From Around The World

Today I would like to share with all of you the different customs and traditions from around the world.  I didn't write these, I found them online from a website. Here is the first one. In Russia, Father Frost brings presents for the children on New Year’s Day. Gold and silver coins are placed inside a brides wedding shoes in Sweden. Shoes must always be removed before entering a Japanese home. This also holds true for Indian households too. In many Western cultures, children leave teeth under their pillow for the tooth fairy to collect – usually in return for some money!  The Bahai People of Iran have their own calendar consisting of nineteen months each with nineteen days. In Brazil, New Year’s Day is celebrated with a bowl of lentil soup as the lentil is considered a symbol of wealth
Foot Binding, a beauty ritual for women to keep their feet from growing too large, is a painful Chinese tradition that only stopped in the 1930s. Wedding celebrations can involve five parties in some parts of the Middle East, beginning with the engagement party and ending with the wedding shower, seven days after the marriage. So these are just some different traditions and customs from around the world. I hope you enjoy learning about some of these, just as much as I learned from them and enjoyed reading them. I hope to post again really soon, but until then please enjoy today's post, until next time.
