My test is themed old traditions from different cultures

I have separated five traditions from different places Finland El Salvador, United States of
Germany and Africa.

1. Spit as a sign of respect.

For the Masai tribe, saliva is a symbol of blessing and wisdom, but it is also a sign of
fulfillment.
This custom can be strange, even disrespectful, but for this group of warriors, its meaning
will depend on the recipient of the spit. Friends may spit in each other's faces, but to greet
an elder of the tribe, a warrior must spit into his hand before extending it, as a symbol of
respect.

2. Observe a marmot's predictions

Across much of the United States and Canada, annually on February 2, a crowd of farmers
gathers to wait for a marmot to come out of its hole. The reason is to know the forecast for
the length of winter. The belief is that if the animal leaves its den and its shadow cannot be
seen, the winter will end immediately. If the marmot can see its shadow because it's a sunny
day, it means that, unfortunately for the farmers, the winter will last another six weeks.

3. Carry the wives

On the first Saturday of July, Finland celebrates a very special championship: the loading of
wives, and the aim is for each participating couple to go through a series of obstacles. The
particularity is that the man must carry his partner throughout the competition. The obstacles
are varied: in a circuit of 253 meters, each pair must pass between stones, cross the sand,
jump over stacked logs and overcome a water area of ​120 meters of depth. But despite
these complex stages, the prizes are juicy: trophies, championship souvenirs, watches and
even the equivalent of a woman's weight in beer.

4. Launch fireballs.

Every August 31st, in Nejapa, municipality of El Salvador, the “Fire Balls” festival is
celebrated, commemorating the battle between Saint Jerome and the Devil. The practice,
within this festive date, is to throw flaming balls, wire or cloth, between two teams.
There are those who say that the practice is linked to the celebration of the Youth Day of the
nejapense, but the most accepted version refers to the fight between the patron of Nejapa,
San Jerónimo Doctor, and El Diablo, and also to remember the eruption of the El Playón
volcano, in 1658. The story goes that the eruption of that volcano made the old Nejapan
disappear, forcing the inhabitants to move to the present territory of Nejapa.

5. Break dishes before the wedding.

Weddings are unique celebrations where family and friends celebrate the union of two
people. In Germany, there is a quirky and fun way to celebrate the occasion.
 Before the wedding, the couple's closest relatives and friends bring crockery, vases or any
other china item to the party and simply break them. It's no joke! They throw everything on
the ground until they turn space into a disaster.
After this celebration, the bride and groom must clean up everything that their family
members have broken, as a symbol of union and work. This tradition is believed to chase
away the couple's evil spirits, and teach them that they must solve all problems together. In
addition, it is also a way to wish your marriage good luck.
