The image captures the intensity and bravery of this ancient tradition that takes place on February 20,2013. The Pa Then tribe, with only 5,000 members residing in mountainous areas bordering China, holds this annual fire-jumping ritual as a culmination of their harvest season. Believing that diving into the flames without any protection will grant them special energy from God to confront life's challenges and combat evil forces.
