Centuries ago, people in what is now northeast Romania would don bear fur and dance to fend off evil spirits. Nowadays, the custom lives on as a popular festival that has been drawing crowds of tourists. The so-called “dancing bears festival” takes place every December, starting in the days before Christmas and ending with the New Year's Eve. (Photo by Vadim Ghirda/AP Photo)
