The festival has taken place on an annual basis since the 1620's.

It marks the Corpus Christi feast in Castrillo de Murcia, near Burgos, Spain.

The jump is meant to cleanse the babies of all evil doings. Damn!! Superstitions.

It is the only baby jumping festival in the world.

Anyone with a newborn baby can bring them to this festival. It is a fun, yet scary to watch, event.
