Masked flagellants pray during a procession before lashing themselves during the "Los Picaos" Easter Week brotherhood procession on April 6, 2012 in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Spain. Los Picaos walk the streets of the northern Riojan village lashing themselves as an act of faith and penance for a sin. After some 800 lashes the Picaos are pinched in the back, to bleed to prevent bruises, with six crystals embedded in a ball of beeswax. Twelve pinches, six on each side of the back, for the twelve apostles. After the procession of the Picao has ended the back is covered and the, always adult, man is brought back to the cofradia where his wounds are treated with rosemary water and a cream of which the ingredients are a secret, passed on from generation to generation. Many Spanish towns and villages retain such rites and religious traditions of which many are passed down from medieval times, across the Easter weekend.
