Things Other Cultures Practice


Called “El Salto del Colacho,” or “the Devil’s Jump,” men in Burgos, Spain dress like the Devil and jump over babies born during the last year. It’s a Catholic tradition thought to cleanse the infants of original sin (the fake Devil literally passes over them so the real Devil can figuratively do so), as well as provide protection throughout their life.
