Many today do not do it for religious reasons, they are just thrill seekers.

Thanks, never knew the history behind this festival. Still crazy though.

"Small Well of San Cernin", across from the facade of the church dedicated to St Cernin, which is built on the foundations of a pagan temple.
According to the local legend, he was ordained a priest in Toulouse, and returned to Pamplona as its first bishop. On a later voyage preaching the gospel, Fermin was beheaded in Amiens, France. He died on September 25, AD 303. Several miracles are associated with the discovery and translation of the relics of Saint Fermin in the time of Savin, bishop of Amiens. It is said that a sweet odor arose from his grave. The smell caused ice and snow to melt, flowers to grow, the sick to be cured, and trees to be inclined reverently toward the saint."
I have never read anywhere in the Bible where it is Christian to pray to the dead. Or, when a person dies miracles happen because of them. This appears as agnostic. Praying to a human who has sinned that has died, or Angels instead of G-d in Christ name.
At present, Jesus the word made flesh that sits on the right hand of G-d the Father with a glorified body due to being sinless. That is Christianity. Not praying to the dead.
This is my issue with the post. It is posted under Christianity.
