A man walks through a parade during fasching, a festival held across Europe, in the city of Ramstein, Germany, Feb. 28, 2017. These festivals are associated with festivals of the Christian church, however, they go further back to Pagan times, and was a way of driving out the evil spirits of winter and encouraging the coming of spring and good crops.
