The Deacon's Bench
From Venezuela, we learn this fascinating tidbit:
The descendants of African slaves donned masks and bright red costumes as they danced through the streets of this small Venezuelan town on Thursday for its annual commemoration of Corpus Cristi. [sic]
Young men beat drums and shook maracas as the “devils” paraded through the streets and people gathered to celebrate Corpus Cristi, a Roman Catholic holiday celebrating the transformation of the body and blood of Christ into bread and wine.
If you can’t see what’s wrong with that, report to Sister Mary Margaret after class for detention.
