The Baby-Jumping Festival

We’re not joking, the Baby-jumping Colacho Festival is a real annual event celebrated all over Spain since the 1620s. It consists of grown men dressed as the Devil leaping over helpless babies. Why do they do this? They represent the devils that, when they jump, they take all the evil with them leaving the babies clean of evil. Here is a snapshot of one of the weirdest religious traditions

Hi, I’m from Spain, and I wanted you to know that it is NOT a real annual event celebrated all over Spain. I’ve never heard of it before in my life, so I investigated. It only happens in a village called Castrillo de Murcia (Burgos). It’s one of the stupid traditions that every country has. The worst of them in Spain is bullfighting.
