A video of a man in Spain is making the rounds and it is truly bizarre. The man, who remains unidentified, is seen sprinting into a church on the Spanish island of Tenerife with a small child who is believed to be his son in his arms. Worshippers had gathered to observe the Octava del Carmen service being held in the San Agustin neighborhood of Los Realejos.

"For anyone confused as to what is happening here, there are traditions in Spain where the more fanatical worshippers send babies and children over crowds so that they will touch the virgin. The idea being that physical proximity will make the virgin protect them in future life," someone said on Reddit, according to the Daily Mail.
"That is a desperate man trying to cure his devil child. Either that, or movies have lied to me," another commenter quipped.
Hopefully the man received whatever he was hoping for.
