Ringing out the old

, December 28, 2014

Handmade puppets are seen inside the home of Hector Villareyna, a craftsman from Leon city, in Managua on December 27. Villareyna began making puppets from old clothes to be sold at 600 cordobas ($23) to represent the past year. In Nicaragua, puppets are burned traditionally as a way of saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new. The puppets are holding up signs of quotes from people of the town.
