(NECN/AP TV: Comanesti, Romania) - People in the streets of a central Romanian town performed the traditional New Year's bear dance on Wednesday. Adults and children wearing bear furs and folkloristic costumes paraded in the streets of Comanesti, about 186 miles north of the Romanian capital Bucharest. They were dancing, playing musical instruments and singing as part of an old traditional ritual performed at the end of each year. In pre-Christian rural traditions, dancers wearing coloured costumes or animal furs toured from house to house in villages singing and dancing to ward off evil. According to the legend, if a bear enters somebody's house it brings welfare, health and luck.
