In this May 24, 2016 photo, a young boy descends the Qullqip'unqu mountain looking out at the tens of thousands of pilgrims gathered to celebrate the three-day festival Qoyllur Rit’i, translated from the Quechua language as Snow Star, in the Andean Sinakara Valley, in Peru's Cusco region. The celebration that mixes Catholic and indigenous beliefs honors Jesus as well as the area’s glacier, which is considered sacred among some indigenous people. While the native celebration is far older, the Christian part of the ritual stretches back to the 1700s, when Jesus is said to have appeared to a young shepherd in the form of another boy.

صدها سال است که فستیوال دیده شدن یک ستاره مخصوص در آسمان توسط دهها هزار مومن از سراسر کشور پرو در یک منطقه کوهستانی برگزار می شود. جشنِ ظهور ستاره برفی مصادف با شروع فصل برداشت برای کشاورزان است. این فستیوال قدیمی به مرور با همه اعتقادات بومی و مسیحیت کاتولیک در هم آمیخته شده است.

مردان مثل یک شخصیت افسانه ای که نیمی از بدنش خرس بوده است لباس می پوشند. برای 3 روز هم جشن و رقص و پایکوبی دارند. در طی این روزها، مردان توسط مقام های مذهبی 3 ضربه شلاق دریافت می کنند تا یادشان باشد که 3 سال مداوم زوار فستیوال ستاره برفی باشند.
