Celebrate! Connections Among Cultures

(National Geographic (Little) Kids) #1

This woman in Tibet is
decorated with special
beads for a zendi, a
wedding celebration. The
beads are made from
turquoise (greenish beads),
coral (red beads), and
amber (the yellow bead).
One of the rarest and most
highly-valued beads is the
black-and-white dzi bead,
such as the ones in this
woman’s hair.


Children in the United
States wear costumes for
Halloween. The celebration
of Halloween evolved from
Celtic traditions marking the
transition from summer to
the darker days of winter.
During this time of year it
was thought spirits could
communicate with the living.
People wore costumes to
ward off any evil spirits.
