VENEZUELA — Holy Innocents Day: A man dressed as a “bolero” stuck out his tongue during celebrations marking Holy Innocents Day which commemorated King Herod's infanticide of baby boys in Bethlehem after the birth of Jesus according to the Gospel of Matthew, in Caucagua, on Tuesday. Residents celebrated a variation of the feast day by wearing old clothes, painting their faces black and tongues red. The more than 200-year-old tradition is a day of song, dance, and pranks.
