SPAIN-CATALONIA-CAGANER

Ceramic figurines of former South African President Nelson Mandela called "Caganers" are pictured during their presentation in Torroella de Montgri, near Gerona on November 15, 2013. Statuettes of well-known people defecating are a strong Christmas tradition in Catalonia, dating back to the 18th century as Catalonians hide caganers in Christmas Nativity scenes and invite friends to find them. The figures symbolize fertilization, hope and prosperity for the coming year. AFP PHOTO/ LLUIS GENE (Photo credit should read LLUIS GENE/AFP via Getty Images)
