A catholic faithful smeared in burnt oil, takes part in the opening of the ten-day celebration of the Santo Domingo de Guzman festival in Managua, on August 1, 2019. The 10 days of festivities have their roots in the 1885 discovery of the 3-inch statue of Santo Domingo de Guzman – who is also known as St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Dominican religious order. In Central America the black devil, or El Cadejo, is an evil dog-like spirit with glowing red eyes that locals believe eats new born puppies. (Photo by Inti Ocon/AFP Photo)
