Gates of Vienna: The Midsummer Burning of Mohammed

Gates of Vienna: The Midsummer Burning of Mohammed

This torching of mohammad's effigy is done each year during one of the "Moors and Christians" street Festival in Spain.The origins lie in the battles following the re-conquest in the 16th and 17th century by Christians. This made Spain a Christian society.
