A man with a devil's mask dances in La Diablada in Pillaro, Ecuador, Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, to celebrate the end of the year and the start of the new one. The town of Pillaro kicks off the feast of La Diablada with neighborhoods competing to bring in as many people as possible dressed as different characters. Originally the devil costume was used to open up space to allow other participants to dance, but over the years the character gained popularity and became the soul of the feast.
