Children, with their bodies painted, take part in a Carnival parade in Santo Domingo, Sunday, March. 2, 2008. Carnival is celebrated later than in other places in Santo Domingo to avoid the concurrence with Ash Wednesday, which in the Christian calendar, is the first day of Lent and occurs forty-six days before Easter, falling on different dates from year to year.
