Would you let someone jump over your infant like this?
Known as El Colacho in Spain, the Baby-Jumping Festival is a popular event that takes place in Castillo de Murcia near Burgos, every year since 1620. It’s basically all about infants laying on a blanket and adults dressed as devils jumping over them i a procession that’s supposed to cleanse the little ones of all evil doings. Doesn’t sound like it works, but hey who am I to contradict tradition? I just wonder if in history any of the devils tripped and fell over the poor babies…
I for one wouldn’t have my kid jumped over by a grown-up like this, even if they’d allow me to keep my hand over him as protection. If that guy falls my hand isn’t going to break his fall, the baby might though…
that is a retarded idea and what if he falls on a baby, will he have mental disorders(the baby)?
This is crazy. I Never enjoy this kind of thing. Really bad
A good way to get rid of those unwanted babies?
I think we should put the jumpers in a long, long line for a fat man with bough legs, and tell them to sit tight while he “cleanses” them..
that is not cool
this is very cool. strange traditions dating back over 300 years are awesome. obviously something about this is working right because they don’t have evil running rampant through their country!
i didnt think it was very helpful.
soz.
p.s. nice try though!
Totally awesome. Would be better if they ate the kids afterwards though. Anyone who thinks this isn’t cool doesn’t know anything about anything. Shut your faces. Thanks. Peace.
i would REALLY like to know who was the genius that came up with the idea of this tradition in 1620.
It’s someyhing very dangerous.They are CRAZY!!!
It would be better if they molested them after.
And then cooked and ate them.
Come on you bunch of whiners ……this Tradition has gone on for centuries and you all just whine that it is dangerous ….boo hoo hoo please don’t hurt the babys……..it is called the Baby Jumping Festival, not the Baby sqishing ….and as for the idiot who said they should molest and eat the babys….grow up you are a loser
