Horsemen wearing elaborate bull masks ride past Our Lady of the Rosary church during the "Cavalhadas" festival in Pirenopolis, Brazil, Sunday, May 19, 2013. The popular festival, featuring masked horsemen, is a tradition that was introduced in the 1800's by a Portuguese priest to mark the the ascension of Christ. The 3-day festival reenacts the Christian knights' medieval defeat of the Moors. (AP Photo/Eraldo Peres)
