A Puerto Rican vejigante stands guard at the 34th annual Mobile International Festival, Nov. 17, 2018, in Mobile, Alabama. The vejigante figure, mainly seen during Carnival and festivals, originally represented the Moors who were defeated by St. James the Apostle, who led Catholics in a rebellion in the 12th century. Some say the vejigante is represents the devil and is meant to scare people into going to church. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
