Youngsters wearing bear costumes dance during an annual ritual in Piatra Neamt, northern Romania, Thursday, Dec. 28, 2017. The tradition, which originates 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 dancers travel to perform the ritual for money.(AP Photo/Vadim Ghirda)
