Spanish Village Holds Baby Jump

[hazel]

Grown men have been leaping over rows of babies in the north Spanish village of Castrillo de Murcia in an annual rite meant to ward off the Devil.

               
           The jumpers were leaping over five or six infants at a time

Jumpers dressed as the Colacho, a character representing the Devil, bounded over clusters of bemused infants laid out on mattresses.

Nobody appeared to get hurt in this year's festive event.

Castrillo, near Burgos, has been holding the event since 1620 to mark the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi.

The feast is widely celebrated in Spain, often with processions and mystery plays.

Pageants can feature dancers depicting demons and angels or other characters.

So weird. It's so unnerving to see the helpless babies. This kind of practice should be stopped. It's a NO-No in the U.S.

Different countries, different morals and cultures.  In India, i-hagbong ang bata ug mga 3 to 5 meters unya saw-on ug habol. It has to do with their religion and belief.
