The devils are grouped in collectives or societies, they carry crosses, rosaries or any religious amulet and during the festival they pray prayers, including a mass. They wear red trousers, shirt and cape and also carry bells and rattles hanging from their clothes. The masks are designed with bold colors and fierce looks, or at least that's what they're trying to do. The devil costume is made up of various accessories such as the tail, the cowbells, the errand and the maraca. Being a very popular tradition throughout the country, we can find different dancing devils distributed throughout the country, but the most important are those of Yare, Naiguatá and Chuao.
