Known as El Colacho in Spain, the Baby-Jumping Festival is a popular event that takes place in Castillo de Murcia near Burgos, every year since 1620. It’s basically all about infants laying on a blanket and adults dressed as devils jumping over them a procession that’s supposed to cleanse the little ones of all evil doings. Doesn’t sound like it works, but hey who am to contradict tradition?

Just wondering if in history any of the devils tripped and fell over the poor babies!

I've never heard of that...

"Thank God almighty that I'm not religious!"

People do the darnest things in the name of religion or fanatical, weird beliefs.

Do reason and logical thought stand a chance against faith.

I believe therefor it is. Good Grief!!!

poor babies.

someone should have tried that with me ... cant imagine what I would need jumping over me at this stage. Perhaps an all-Asian ladies volleyball tournament

Some babies don't look as if they would enjoy this ceremony...

Looks easy! I bet I could jump TEN babies at least.... if I wore my running spikes, probably even more.

Maybe we should have a TF event?

LMAO @ EBs comment.
