Nicaraguans whip each other with dried bull penises in 400-year-old religious tradition


San Juan de Oriente (Nicaragua) (AFP) – Whether to atone for their sins or for a taste of adrenalin, dozens of people take part in the four-centuries-old religious tradition of whipping each other with dried bull penises. The ritual, known as the dance of the “chinegros,” is held to mark Saint John the Baptist’s day in San Juan de Oriente, southern Nicaragua.
