Let's Celebrate... By Throwing Burning Rags At Each Other

You probably remember Legends of the Hidden Temple that was on Nickelodeon. The show was based on the very thing these El Salvadorian people are celebrating at this Fireball Festival. Now pay close attention, a mime is about to tell you a legendary tale.

So... just so we're getting this straight. A long time ago, a volcano erupted and destroyed a village. To pay tribute to the day, you light rags on fire, then throw them at each other. Sounds like fun.
