A bull was brutally sacrificed by hanging to honour patron saint Santa Ana in the village of Mochitlan, in Guerrero State, south of Mexico, Sunday.
The slaughter of the bull was followed by a ceremony where men drank the bull's blood and devoured its meat, with the belief that it will make them stronger.
A farmer from Mochitlan, Felie Reyes Bello, said: "During the festivity, men drink the bull's blood to become very strong and with this vigour continue the tradition of sacrificing more animals in the next years."
The tradition is considered to be one of the most important celebrations in Mochitlan.
