Pictures of the week

Here's your look at highlights from the weekly AP photo report, a gallery featuring a mix of front-page photography, the odd image you might have missed and lasting moments our editors think you should see.

This week's gallery includes celebrations around the world tied to the lunar calendar; a massive protest against corruption in the Haitian capital; and winter scenes in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Seattle, Wash.

This gallery contains photos from the week of Feb. 2-8, 2019.

Naga Sadhus, naked Hindu holy men, take dips at Sangam, the confluence of three sacred rivers - the Yamuna, the Ganges and the mythical Saraswati - on Mauni Amavsya or the new moon day, the most auspicious day during the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh state, India, on Monday, Feb. 4, 2019. The Kumbh Mela, or the Pitcher Festival, is a series of ritual baths by sadhus and other pilgrims that dates back to at least medieval times. Worshippers bathe in the river believing it cleanses them of their sins and ends their process of reincarnation. The event, which UNESCO added to its list of intangible human heritage in 2017, is the largest congregation of pilgrims on earth. Some 150 million people are expected to attend this year's Kumbh, which runs through early March. (AP Photo/Channi Anand)

Much of the financial support to help Haiti rebuild after the 2010 earthquake comes from Venezuela's Petro Caribe fund, a 2005 pact that gives suppliers below-market financing for oil and is under the control of the central government.
