BILLEDSERIE: Nytårstraditioner fra hele verden

Se hvilke traditioner man følger i forskellige lande i anledning af nytår

I Brasilien, Ecuador, Bolivia og Venezuela, bærer man særligt undertøj på nytårsaften. I byer som Sao Paulo og La Paz begynder undertøjs-leverandører at fremvise farvestrålende underbukser et par dage før ferien. De mest populære farver er rød og gul: rød formodes at bringe kærlighed i det kommende år, og gul menes at bringe penge. Traditionen stammer angiveligt fra Spanien, hvor man også i dag følger traditionen visse steder. Billedet her er fra "San Silvestre" nytårsløbet i Valencia i Spanien, hvor festglade mænd løber en tur i rødt undertøj.

I Danmark springer mange ned fra en stol, når klokken slår 12 nytårsaften. Rundt omkring i verden står man dog ikke tilbage for den danske tradition. I Spanien spiser de vindruer, og japanerne slår på klokker, mens kineserne og de fleste andre med dem sætter ild til en stor mængde fyrværkeri.
