**Ⅰ. Introduction**
 * [[image:images.jpg]] || ==We chose a spanish culutre, "El Colacho", among the expanding circle. Spain has never been a colony. El Colacho is one of the biggiest festivals in Spain. When we searched the information, it looks interesting but scary. Baby jumping is not common. All the countries in the world have their unique features. El colacho also represents spanish cultures.== ||


 * Ⅱ. The Background of "El Colacho" **


 * ==Baby jumping (El Colacho) is a traditional Spanish practice dating back to 1620 that takes place annually to celebrate the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi in the village of Castrillo de Murcia near Burgos. During the act - known as El Salto del Colacho (the devil's jump) or simply El Colacho – men dressed as the Devil (known as the Colacho) jump over babies born during the previous twelve months of the year who lie on mattresses in the street. The Catholic festival of Corpus Christi is celebrated all over Spain with processions, mystery plays and a wide variety of popular celebrations, but this one has to be the strangest. It is believed that as the incarnate devils jump they take all their evil with them and the children are cleansed. The celebration is an example of the mix of traditional Spanish folklore and religion, and great fun to watch!== ||
