|  Painted an Easter egg in traditional Sorbian motives at the annual Easter egg market on March 24, 2012 in Schleife, near Hoyerswerda, Germany. Easter egg painting is a strong part of Sorbian tradition and visual elements within the painting are meant to ward off evil. Sorbians are a Slavic minority in eastern Germany and many still speak Sorbian, a language closely related to Polish and Czech. | |

|  Johannes Wessela carries the figure of Jesus during the Easter riders' procession in Crostwitz, eastern Germany, Sunday, April 4, 2010. According to a 100-year-old tradition, men of the Sorbs, dressed in black tailcoats riding on decorated horses, proclaim the message of Jesus' resurrection. The Sorbs are a Slavic German minority near the German-Polish border. | |

|  A man dressed in a red and yellow costume representing the devil, known as El Colacho, jumps over babies placed on a mattress during traditional Corpus Christi celebrations in Castrillo de Murcia, near Burgos, northern Spain June 10, 2012. The northern Spanish town has for centuries chosen to protect its young from evil spirits with the unusual ritual in which a man dressed as the devil leaps over mattresses each holding four or five babies. | |

|  A Filipino Catholic devotee, who soaked himself in mud and wrapped in mostly banana leaves, walks around a village to beg for candles prior to attending a mass to celebrate the Feast of Saint John the Baptist at Bibiclat village, Aliaga township, Nueva Ecija province in northern Philippines, Sunday, June 24, 2012. Traditionally the Feast of St. John the Baptist is celebrated in this predominantly Roman Catholic nation in Asia by dousing unwary people with water, but in this sleepy village of Bibiclat, the residents soak themselves in muddy rice fields and don banana leaves instead. The unique celebration has now become a tourist attraction. | |
