Strange, isn't it? The Nejapa town in El Salvador observes the annual fireball festival to commemorate the clash between saint San Jeronimo and the devil. On this day, people throw flaming balls at each other while the crowd cheers for the two warring groups that indulge in the summer festival. Watch video of 'Bolas de Fuego' celebrations below.
'Bolas de Fuego', the annual fireball festival was observed in the Nejapa town of El Salvador on August 31, Wednesday. Men with painted faces pelted each other with flaming balls made from the rages drenched in gasoline. The risky summer festival commemorates the historic volcanic eruption in 1658 which, according to the residents, was a battle between the saint San Jeronimo and the devil. Thus, Nejapa represents the battleground for two warring groups that pay tribute to the clash between God and devil by hurling fireballs at each other. Watch video of the fireball festival below.
