In this photo taken October 12, 2019, a man's eyes roll backwards as he partakes in a ritual with a spiritual healer known as a “madrina” on Sorte Mountain where followers of indigenous goddess Maria Lionza gather annually in Venezuela's Yaracuy state. Venezuela is predominantly Roman Catholic, and while the church disapproves of the folk religion, it has long since abandoned its attempts to suppress it. (Photo by Ariana Cubillos/AP Photo)
