Fiesta de Cuasimodo in Chile
The Fiesta de Cuasimodo, which is held in Chile, has absolutely nothing to do with a hunchback in a bell tower or a beautiful gypsy girl being rescued from her circumstances. The name of the festival might be a little deceiving, but it is a religious festival in Chile that is held annually on the first Sunday after Easter Sunday. It has its roots deeply imbedded in the colorful history of Chile, and even though it originates from a once needed service performed to aid the church, it slowly evolved to become a part of tradition and culture.
