Men in bright costumes have been leaping over rows of babies on mattresses during a religious festival in a northern Spanish village.
The event, known as the "El Colacho", has been held since 1620 in the village of Castrillo to celebrate the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi.
The men dress as the Colacho — a character representing the Devil — and leap through the air over the rows of infants to ward off evil spirits, the BBC reports.
Legend has it that the incarnate devils take all their evil with them as they jump, leaving the babies "cleansed".
The festival features many performances, including dancers portraying demons and angels. The feast is celebrated throughout Spain with processions and plays.
No-one has been injured in this year's event.
