    Shingon monk throws sticks with written prayers into a burning pyre during the Miyajima Fire Walking ceremony, which took place inside the Daisho-in Temple on the Island of Miyajima, April 15, 2013. Onlookers could buy wooden prayer sticks prior to the beginning of the ceremony. The prayers would then be gathered into boxes to be thrown into the blaze.
