Nicaraguans worship St. John with traditional violent dance

San Juan de Oriente, Jun 24 (EFE).- Within the parish of San Juan de Oriente, in the Nicaraguan Pacific, Julio Cesar Potosme meets his rival "at the exit."

Once in place, they fight with a kind of whip until one of them, injured, raises his weapon, surrenders, the brawl stops, the opponents dance, thank each other, and the patron saint's party continues. (Camera: RENÉE LUCÍA RAMOS).

SHOT LIST: PEOPLE FIGHT EACH OTHER WITH THE WHIPS DURING THE CHINEGROS DANCE TO WORSHIP ST. JOHN, IN SAN JUAN DE ORIENTE, NICARAGUA.
