A Bolivian carries the skull of a dead relative into church to be blessed on the Day of Skulls, in the General Cemetery of La Paz November 8, 2005. Bolivians who keep close relatives' skulls at home as a macabre talisman flock to the cemetery chapel once a year to have the craniums blessed in veneration and to bring themselves good luck in the future.
