1 of 10. Devotees hold the skulls of their relatives during a Catholic mass on the Day of Skulls, at the General Cemetery in La Paz, November 8, 2010. Bolivians who keep close relatives' skulls at home as a macabre talisman flock to the cemetery chapel once a year to have the craniums blessed and to bring themselves good luck in the future.
