ALIAGA, PHILIPPINES - JUNE 24: Devotees covered in mud and dried banana leaves light candles and pray outside a closed church to celebrate the Taong Putik ("mud people") Festival on June 24, 2021 in the village of Bibiclat in Aliaga town, Nueva Ecija province, Philippines. Each year, the residents of Bibiclat village in Aliaga town celebrate the Feast of Saint John by covering themselves in mud, dried banana leaves, vines, and twigs as part of a little-known Catholic festival which traces its history from the Pacific War and reenacts how rain stopped the execution of 14 villagers by Japanese soldiers in 1944. The townsfolk considered this as a miracle from Saint John, and every year since then the villagers roll in mud to show their gratitude to the saint. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, limits remain imposed on religious gatherings as part of government lockdown measures, and devotees have been advised to celebrate in their homes. With more than 1,372,000 cases and more than 23,000 deaths, the Philippines is one of the worst coronavirus-hit countries in Southeast Asia, despite imposing the longest lockdown in the world.

PROBOLINGGO, JAVA, INDONESIA - JUNE 26: An Indonesian man bring a horse at Mount Batok during the Yadnya Kasada ritual on June 26, 2021 in Probolinggo, Java, Indonesia. The Tenggerese people are an ethnic group in Eastern Java, Indonesia's most populous island, who believe themselves to be descendants of the Majapahit princes that ruled the area historically. Their population of roughly 500,000 is centered in the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park in eastern Java. The ethnic group's most popular ceremony, the month-long Yadnya Kasada festival, was the most visited tourist attraction in Indonesia before the Covid-19 pandemic. On the fourteenth day, the Tenggerese make a journey to Mount Bromo to make offerings of rice, fruits, vegetables, flowers and even livestock and poultry, throwing them into the volcano's caldera. The ritual is thought to have started in the 15th century, when a local princess and her husband prayed to the mountain gods for help in having children.
