Saint Sebastian Feast kicks off in Nicaragua
A parishioner prepares to dance during the feast in honour of Saint Sebastian, patron saint of Diriamba, about 45 km (28 miles) south of Managua, Jan 19, 2011. The masks worn by the revellers were first used in the 16th century by the local indigenous habitants in a theatrical parody in which they mocked Spanish conquistadores.[Photo/Agencies]
