The Day in Photos – July 26, 2015

A rider on a horse back parades before ripping the head off a goose, hanging by its feet from a thick rope stretched across the town square, on the feast day of Santiago, the patron saint of Spain, during the ancestral festivities of Carpio de Tajo, central Spain, Saturday, July 25, 2015. For at least 400 yeas young men from Carpio village have take part in this old rite of uncertain origins, that some anthropologists believe is related to the legendary appearance of Spain's patron Santiago (St. James) at the Battle of Navas de Tolosa in 1212, sparking a Christian victory over the Moors, represented in the rite by the goose.
