Aymara couples, wearing hats made of sweet bread that represent hope against hunger in the coming year, dance during Challa Tuesday celebrations, in which devotees bury food, toss candies into the air and burn incense, all in a show of gratitude to Pachamama or Mother Earth, in Achocalla, Bolivia, Tuesday, February 21, 2023. The Andean ritual coincides with the Christian holiday Shrove Tuesday, the culmination of Carnival season, which officially begins each year on Jan. 6, the 12th day after Christmas, and closes with the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday.
