The shadow of the archs and columns is cast in the floor of the San Agustin Acolman ex convent in Acolman, Mexico City, Feb. 22, 2008. San Agustin Acolman was build in 1539. In this convent was maked the first pinata in the continent. The pinata was part of the "misas de aguinaldo" actually known in Mexico as Posadas and monks started to celebrate them after getting permission from the pope Sixto V in 1587. The act of breaking the pinata represented the fight between the good and the evil. Photo/Chico Sanchez
