6/15/2004: El Colacho jumps the babies

He's at it again at what is now a recurring IotD. El Colacho is supposed to be the devil - which is why he gets the stylish outfit I guess - and his jump is supposed to rid the babies of original sin. It all takes place at the El Salto Del Colacho festival in Castrillo de Murcia, Spain.

Lucky babies, their eternal fate changing as the result of a simple stunt. I think if they really are cleansed that this guy should be leaping over every baby he can possibly find, and parents should travel to him from all over to set up hurdling events and maybe even pole vaults over pyramids of screaming youngsters. But if it's just a silly festival, than it should be an IotD and we can only hope the guy clears the kids every time.
