Penitents carry a statue of the Virgen del Carmen, the patron saint of fishermen, as thousands of people attend the procession at the Puerto de la Cruz on the Spanish Canary island of Tenerife. Every year, local residents of the resort carry the statue of the Virgin from its chapel to a small beach in the fishing habor. Once at the beach, the fishermen put the statue on board a decorated boat and the statue sails along the coast. (Desiree Martin/Getty Images)
