A man dressed in a devil costume confronts a reveler during the Devils and Congos carnival ritual, in Nombre de Dios, Panama, Wednesday, February 18, 2015. The Ash Wednesday ritual involves “devils” dancing through the streets in the guise of looking for and scaring “sinners” among the merry residents who have been partying for four days. On the final day of their festivities the residents work to avoid being caught by a devil. The celebration dates to colonial times in which devils represented the Spanish conquerors and the 'Congos' represented escaped African slaves. (Photo by Arnulfo Franco/AP Photo)
