RNS photos of the week: Pheasant hunting, Hindu wrestlers, Italy's heatwave

Each week Religion News Service presents a gallery of photos of religious expression around the world. View the slideshow here.

This week’s photo selection includes an archival photo of a pre-pheasant hunting service, Hindu wrestlers, Italy's heatwave, and more.

Pheasant hunters participate in a Bible study class in the morning before going out to hunt at Byron Bible Camp, near Huron, South Dakota, circa 1948. The men dress in their hunting clothes in the morning so that they don't have to change before hunting. The camp opened each hunting season and attracted a number of Protestant churchmen. The camp was run by the Rev. E.C. Harmon, a member of the American Sunday School Union. RNS archive photo. Photo courtesy of the Presbyterian Historical Society.
