Keeping customs and traditions in the new year is common among the different cultures of the world.
Check out the main traditions of the new year now:
1. White on New Year
This is one of the best known and practiced practices. On the night of the 31st, people usually wear white clothes. It all started in Brazil in 1970, when practitioners of African-derived religions wore white to the beaches to offer their offerings (mainly in the cities of Salvador and Rio de Janeiro) wearing white.
2. the panties
Just like white clothes, choosing the color of panties is also something present in the new year. That's because, each color has a different meaning: red, love, yellow, prosperity, green hope.
3. skip seven ripples
Regardless of your religion, you've probably already jumped the seven waves on New Year's Eve. This is also a custom of African religion. It is a Umbanda custom in honor of Iemanjá and the number of waves is for his son Exu.
4. play overboard
Beaches are the favorite destinations for Virada. With that, some people tend to throw flowers in requests and thank Yemanja!
5. grapes at supper
At every New Year's Eve dinner, grape bunches are present. They look great in the composition of tables and also according to tradition bring prosperity and harmony. This is a custom from Spain where people eat 12 grapes at midnight and keep the pits in their wallet until 12 months pass.
6. Champagne
They say that popping a bottle of champagne brings financial prosperity.
