Devotees In Atlixco, Mexico, Set Out On A Traditional March Known As "Los Engrillados" To Wash Away Their Sins.
The faithful are participating in their traditional journey of repentance in Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico. On Good Friday, dozens of so-called engrillados are walking through the city's streets on hot pavement, weighed down with chains and with cacti stuck into their skin, as the devotees seek to cleanse themselves of their sins.
