An Argentine gaucho or cowboy rides horseback while carrying a statue of folk saint Gauchito Gil on his way to Gil's sanctuary in Mercedes in the Argentine province of Corrientes, 739 km (460 miles) north of Buenos Aires, January 8, 2008. Today marks the anniversary of the death of the legendary Argentine cowboy, who many people revere for working miracles after his untimely, violent death at the hands of the police in the 1800s.
