In this Saturday, Dec. 30, 2017, picture a girl wearing a bear fur costume takes part in an annual bear parade in Comanesti, Romania. Hundreds of people descend on the sleepy northern Romanian city of Comanesti every year dressed head to toe like bears, in costumes made from real fur, with the heads attached. It's a tradition that originated 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.
