Stock Photo - 25 December 2018, Peru, San Juan de Lurigancho: Two men are beating each other in the Takanakuy ritual. The ritual is celebrated every year on 25 December in certain Peruvian villages. Participants beat each other up and let out all the tensions that have accumulated over the year. The ""liberating effect"" is increased by the heavy alcohol consumption of some participants. Organizers point out that the ritual will make the villagers forget their resentments, so that the community can look peacefully into the new year.
