Bear Dance Ritual connects Romania with the Past

In this Saturday, December 30, 2017, picture, Cleopatra Antonia Turcu, 10 years-old, wearing a bear fur costume pauses next to Georgiana Andresoaie, during an annual bear parade in Comanesti, Romania. The tradition, originating in pre-Christian times, when dancers, wearing colored costumes or animal furs, went from house to house in villages singing and dancing to ward off evil, has moved to Romania's cities, where the ritual is performed for money.
