The Week in Pictures: June 21 – June 27, 2014. Part 5/5

In this Sunday June 22, 2014 photo, a moss man take part during the Corpus Christi procession in the small village of Bejar, Spain. Following the legend of the Moss Men, in the XII Century Christians covered their clothes and weapons with moss as a camouflage to get inside a Muslim Fortress. The tradition of the Moss Men has survived until the present day and is commemorated every year in the procession of the corpus Christi festivity, and according to documentary evidence it has been celebrated in Bejar since 1397. During Corpus Christi, the Catholic community celebrates the transformation of the body and blood of Christ into the bread and wine that the faithful receive at Communion.
