A person is wearing a mask of the wrestler Blue Demon during the Carnival of Masks and Costumes in Culhuacan, Mexico City, on the eve of the Holy Week celebrations in the capital. The celebrations, which have been brought to America by the Spanish and Portuguese from the 15th century onwards, are said to have a pagan origin and are filled with music, dances, theatrical performances, colors, and gastronomy. The religious significance of Carnival varies across different states, as it is celebrated at the beginning of Lent. (Photo by Gerardo Vieyra/NurPhoto)
