Carnival Of Masks And Costumes In Culhuacán, Mexico City
People are wearing costumes 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 were introduced to America by the Spanish and Portuguese from the 15th century onwards, are believed to have pagan origins and are characterized by music, dances, theatrical performances, vibrant 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)
