A reveller takes a break during celebration of the Virgen de los Desamparados, or Our Lady of the Abandoned, at Diria town, Nicaragua May 14, 2016. The Our Lady of the Abandoned is a Catholic apparition attributed to the Virgin Mary. She is the patroness of Valencia and one of seven patrons of the Autonomous communities of Spain. She appears with a lily in one hand and in the other, she carries the baby Jesus who bears the cross in his arms. Her posture is characterized by a slight forward tilt, and hence, she is known affectionately as the Geperudeta (hunchback) of Valencia. (Photo by Oswaldo Rivas/Reuters)
