    Apparently, for these people it's important that children can overcome that fear, maybe for some practical reason.

      I think that a good (?) health of superstition is also the case here. And the notion of keeping a tradition alive.

        Yes, but traditions are born for a specific reason. I am wondering what was the original reason for this ritual.

      • DaruDec 18, 2016 at 3:38 PM

        Yeah, me too. I will look deeper.

        👌

        There's probably a religious link. Tradition (in my eyes) is rarely practical or logical.

        Yet I believe that even the most religious and superstitious rites have a logical origin, even if a faulty and perverse logic perhaps forgotten, by now.
