A "promesante" or promiser, dressed as a devil with his body coated in a mix of grease and motor oil, participates in a procession during Santo Domingo festivities in Managua, Nicaragua, Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012. Some of the faithful coat their bodies in a black lubricant, annually, as a promise for a prayer or miracle they believe was performed or answered by Managua's patron saint, Santo Domingo de Guzman. The first 10 days of August are reserved for the carnival-like celebrations to honor the patron saint with processions, bullfights, parties and church services. (AP Photo/Esteban Felix)
