A villager is tossed by a bull in the town centre of Ponte da Lima June 6, 2007, as part of the annual "Vacas das Cordas" celebrations. The event, a 350-year-old tradition, relives the moment when Christians turned a pagan temple, dedicated to a goddess represented by a cow, into a church. Villagers chain a bull to the church, then shower it with wine, before releasing it along the village streets. [Reuters]
