Carnival Of Masks And Costumes In Culhuacán, Mexico City
A person is wearing a coyote costume during the Carnival of Masks and Costumes in Culhuacan, Mexico City, on the eve of the Holy Week celebrations in the capital. The Carnival, with origins said to be pagan, features music, dances, theatrical performances, vibrant colors, and gastronomy. Brought to America by the Spanish and Portuguese from the 15th century onwards, the religious significance of Carnival varies across different states, as it marks the beginning of Lent.
