Diablos Danzantes de Corpus Christi, San Francisco de Yare

The Dancing Devils of Corpus Christi is a more than 400-year-old tradition recognized by UNESCO, in which masked devil dancers perform steps backward in an attitude of penance before submitting to the Holy Sacrament, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The best-known celebration takes place in San Francisco de Yare in Miranda state, alongside similar observances in several other Venezuelan towns.
