In this Thursday, June 20, 2019 photo, a member of the "Hermandad del santísimo sacramento pecados y danzantes" brotherhood representing the sins jumps during a Corpus Christi procession in Camunas, central Spain. Each year the members of the local catholic brotherhood dedicated to the town’s unique celebration of the Eucharist called “Pecados y danzantes” invade the streets.
Each year, members of the local Catholic brotherhood dedicated to the town’s unique celebration of the Eucharist called “Pecados y danzantes” take over the streets in colorful, homemade costumes and masks that heighten the anarchic carnival atmosphere. The first day’s procession is to glorify the power of redemption, and unites the two bands the brotherhood has divided into: the “dancers” and the “sinners.”
But on the following day, the “sinners” return and this time march alone, drinking, making lewd jokes, and playing harmless pranks on each other. The hay cart carrying a brother who dons a bishop’s miter is momentarily set aflame, while another is tied to a tree and a third has his legs tapped together. Eggs are tossed. Bystanders — some most likely bemused — are sprayed with water.
Inspiring. We should all be the unrepentant sinners that take over our own lives.
