Aymara shamen blessing skull with incense
One of Bolivia's more bizarre festivals! People who believe in the Ņatitas take them to churches to hear mass, be blessed and then hold parties in their honour! The Ņatitas are human skulls (often of dead relatives and handed down through the family for generations) that they keep in their homes; they believe that they protect and watch over them.
