"You see, Wendy, when the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies." James M. Barrie Peter Pan.

Don't eat me!

A costumed man sharpens a knife along a street during a carnival in southwestern Macedonia's village of Vevcani.

The carnival is always held on St. Vasilij's day, which marks the beginning in the New Year by the Julian calendar.

The masks usually represent pagan rituals, Biblical issues and political satire.
