Iconic procession of chained men returns to central Mexico

Atlixco, Apr 15 (EFE).- The iconic procession of the 'grilled men of Atlixco', who march with shackles and chains, returned this Good Friday to this municipality in the Mexican state of Puebla, in the centre of the country.

Hundreds gathered early in the old Convent of San Francisco to prepare the chains, thorns and clothing for the procession, where they gradually stripped off their clothes to remain in wine-coloured loincloths and headscarves. (Camera: GABRIELA GARCÍA GUZMÁN).
