Men dressed as the devil jumping over babies. This is what Spain does best. This bizarre event is said to cleanse the babies of original sin. Way more exciting than a baptism.

This Hindu festival (HOLI) is kind of like The Color Run, except with less running and more partying. The colored powders represent the arrival of spring.

Yes, that is exactly what you think it is. In Japan, they celebrate fertility every year with a rousing parade.

Because why not march through Scotland in the middle of the winter with torches? There is no better way to mark the end of the yule season.
