Reuters' Pictures of the year 2006: Villagers dressed as
heads on plates perform a pagan ritual in the village of Vevcani, some 170
km (106 miles) from the Macedonian capital, January 14, 2006. Vevcani
village annually marks Orthodox St. Vasilij Day with a carnival, which
features a 1,300-year-old celebration of pagan roots. Its highlight is a
political satire, with masked villagers acting out current events.
