Jumping over Babies
During May and June holidays in a small Spanish town of Castillo de Murcia is an unusual ritual purification El Kolachev. First held back in 1620, a ritual designed to cleanse El Kolachev souls of infants born over the past year since the last ritual. On the day of the ceremony is possible, as the locals believe, to save children from the evil eye and spoilage, to protect from disease and dark forces.
