Customs vary from country to country and though some might seem odd to westerners our customs probably seem odd to other places as well. Without further ado I present some interesting customs of the world: In China husbands carry their pregnant wives over hot coals,this is for two reasons one is in sympathy for the wive's upcoming labor and to ensure the wife has an easy labor.
The baby jumping festival in Spain features men with red and yellow masks and clothes representing the devil who are then chased away by the pious men. Next the babies born the previous year are placed on mattresses in the street where the devils jump over them to absorb sins and protect them from misfortune,then the babies are sprinkled with rose petals before the parents claim them.
