Protesters against the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro have vented their anger on Easter marches. The demonstrators demanded the "resurrection" of democracy amid clashes with police.
A section of demonstrators chose to show their opposition to the government of Maduro with a barefoot walk through the streets of Caracas, in continuation of a weekend of religious-themed protests.
The Via Crucis march, intended to mirror Jesus' walk to crucifixion, was only one of several shows of defiance across the country. It was held under the banner "Resurrection of Democracy."
On occasion, the protests turned violent, with masked demonstrators in the Chacao district throwing petrol bombs at police who responded with tear gas and water cannon. Several hundred people had gathered in the district, chanting "Liberty!" and placing barricades across the street.
