Description
Devils with leather whips lash people in a town square in El Salvador to "punish" them for their sins, in a centuries-old Holy Week tradition. The festival involving red-dressed "talciguines", devilish men in the Nahuatl language, takes place once a year in the farming town of Texistepeque. "We're the ones who don't let this tradition die," says Mauricio Avalos, a 24-year-old lawyer who has been a talciguin for five years. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
