Hundreds of what appear to be human-sized caterpillars with elaborate stripes bob along the road in Tetela del Volcán , Mexico .
Shaggy tissue paper hats resembling caterpillar-like hats resemble those of Roman soldiers.
They are part of a cherished Easter celebration dating back 350 years in the central Mexican town.
Residents prepare for months for the three-day celebration every Easter weekend.
Costumed marchers lay flowers at the base of a stone church, then trek up a winding mountain slope.
As they run, neighbors, police officers and screaming little boys sling matches at the men until their paper hats burst into flames.
While authorities try to keep the flames confined to a stadium, celebrations quickly spill onto the streets.
