Dozens of Catholics in feathered costumes joined a procession honoring St. Francis Solanus, the patron saint of a town in Paraguay, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the capital city of Asuncion. Dressing up is a ritual aimed at fulfilling promises made to the Spanish friar, a missionary in South America during the 16th century, who is believed to grant miracles.
