Ancient Chicken Ceremony in China

The head of a chicken is seen on the ground during a traditional wedding ritual. It is rooted in the past when a bride was expected to marry a cousin, according to village chief Huang Xuexian. If she wished to marry outside the family, her suitor and cousin would compete to be the first to bite off the head of a tethered chicken or duck and “win” the bride. This ritual was abandoned long ago as attitudes on marriage changed, said Huang. (Photo by Tyrone Siu/Reuters)
