Weird Religious Festival In Bolivia Where They Decorate Skulls And Put Cigarette by duketunde: 12:33pm On Nov 12, 2015
WTF....What will you say to those who celebrate this weird festival in Bolivia where people decorate skulls dug from graves for indigenous festival to bring good luck and blessings..


The Day of the Skull mixes Andean pre-Hispanic beliefs with Roman Catholicism - even though the Church disapproves of the display where skulls are dressed up with flowers, hats and sunglasses and cigarettes are put in their mouths.

Many of the skulls have been handed down through generations but some have been taken from unnamed abandoned graves. For more see at http://www.duketundesblog.com/2015/11/weird-religious-festival-in-bolivia.html
