'Fireball Festival' in El Salvador commemorates historic volcano eruption
Masked youths participate in the "fireball festival", a battle that pits two teams of locals against each other in Nejapa, El Salvador.
The traditional festival, created in 1922, is held in honour of Saint Jeronimo and recalls the 1658 eruption of the San Salvador volcano that destroyed Nejapa.
