6 WEIRD NEW YEAR SUPERSTITIONS AROUND THE WORLD
Hello, welcome, subscribe and leave a like. Superstitions, customs and traditions are part of the night we celebrate the New Year. All cultures have their own, some more exotic than others, but most of them understandable. However, some habits followed on the last day of the year cause strangeness. And it was thinking about the peculiarity of these acts that we created this list with superstitions that are a little different from what we expect. Were you curious? So check it out. 1. Bread to ward off evil spirits This is a really strange tradition. Of Irish origin, it is held on the last day of the year. People prepare and bake bread. When ready, they are used as hammers, being slammed against doors and walls just before midnight.
The intention with this is to ward off evil spirits that are lurking. It is also believed that the ritual helps the family not go hungry over the next year, avoiding bad luck.
2. Putting a plate on the table for dead family members This is also an Irish New Year custom. At supper time, the front door of the house is unlocked and a plate is placed on the dining table.
The intention is to welcome back the spirits of loved ones who have passed away within the past 12 months. From the outside, you might think they're chasing ghosts, but it's just a way to remember loved ones.
3. Avoid doing laundry on New Year's Day Did you get wine on a dress or shirt during the New Year's celebration? Because, according to this period superstition, you should keep your laundry dirty until January 2nd. According to legend, if you wash clothes on New Year's Day, you are "washing the dead", and that would result in a member of your family being punished and taken away.
There are some variations on this superstition that even claim that doing laundry on the first day results in a lot of bad work throughout the year. In practice, it would bring bad luck, causing you to have a lot of housework.
4. Don't litter before January 2nd. I hope anyone who follows this New Year's tradition doesn't throw a party the night before. In essence, it says that nothing consumed on December 31st or January 1st can be thrown away. This involves finished products like cans and bottles and leftover food.
Of British origin, this superstition emerged during the Victorian Era, in which it was claimed that the consequences of getting rid of close things could be terrible: you would have a very unlucky year, in addition to material losses.
5. Open doors and windows and shout, In the Philippines, families have a tradition on the nights leading up to the New Year. The doors and windows of the houses are opened, while the owners begin to make a lot, a lot of noise.
According to Filipino tradition, the more noise you make, the better, as this will drive away and scare away evil spirits. It is also considered a way to re-energize the home with positive auras.
6. Burn puppets. In Ecuador, as well as in other countries in South America, the New Year is a date of great celebration. But there is a very peculiar tradition in some cities there: the burning of puppets.
Right after midnight, people take to the streets with their puppets, known there as monigotes. They can represent politicians, pop culture figures or any other icon. The men dress all in black and, each carrying his puppet, ask for money.
In the end, they gather all the puppets and make a huge bonfire with them. According to tradition, this was a purification ritual that dates back to the outbreak of yellow fever in 1895. Until the next video with more curiosities.
