WATCH: Men Pelt Each Other With Flaming Balls To Observe the Annual Fireball Festival in Nejapa Town of El Salvador | ???? LatestLY

‘Bolas de Fuego’, the annual fireball festival was observed in the Nejapa town of El Salvador on August 31, Wednesday. Men with painted faces pelted each other with flaming balls made from the rages drenched in gasoline. The risky summer festival commemorates the historic volcanic eruption in 1658 which, according to the residents, was a battle between the saint San Jeronimo and the devil.  Thus, Nejapa represents the battleground for two warring groups that pay tribute to the clash between God and devil by hurling fireballs at each other.
