Las Luminarias: a Spanish festival of fire and horses.
A man rides a horse through the bonfire during “Las Luminarias”, a ritual in honor of Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals, on January 16, 2016 in San Bartolome de Pinares, Spain. The tradition, which is hundreds of years old, is meant to purify and protect the animal for the year ahead.
