Caption: Bessie Tibbs, 85, of Baden and Cathy Jones of North County enjoy getting blessed by a moko jumbie at the 21st Annual St. Louis African Arts Festival Monday, May 28, 2012, at the World Fair Pavilion in Forest Park. "I try to bring her out here every year to get her out of the house. She just loves the stilt walkers," said Jones. A moko jumbie or stilts walker are believed to originate from Western Africa. They are believed to represent the highest of spirits and offer blessings. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
