Faithfuls try to avoid being lashed by “talciguines” – characters of the local folklore- during the celebration of an ancient local tradition that marks the start of Holy Week, in Texistepeque, some 80 km west of San Salvador, on March 26, 2018 Talciguines are devils who lash Catholic faithfuls to cleanse their sins.
