#2: Venezuelans Rollerblade to Church

In the heart of Caracas, Christmas brings an extraordinary tradition to life as hundreds of Venezuelans swap their usual modes of transport for a more whimsical one – roller skates! It’s a sight to behold as they glide gracefully to church, a joyful procession that has become an integral part of the holiday season.

To ensure everyone’s safety and merriment, the city’s roads are temporarily closed, transforming the streets into a festive skating rink. Once the church bells have rung, they return home to savor a mouthwatering Christmas feast, with tamales taking center stage in this heartwarming and unconventional holiday celebration.
