In the western part of Denmark if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”.
The Festival of Light in Thailand
The Festival of Light, also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year.
Wife-carrying Competition in Finland
More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer.
