A Catholic faithful dressed in a bird-feather suit, flies past on a chair swing ride during the feast day celebrations for St. Francisco Solano, in Emboscada, Paraguay, Friday, July 24, 2015. The parish priest says the festivity became a tradition because the birthday of Francisco Solano Lopez, the son of 19th century Paraguayan President Carlos Antonio Lopez, fell on Saint Francis' feast day. The Paraguayan president served from 1841 to 1862. (Photo by Jorge Saenz/AP Photo)
