La Quema de Judas

"The Burning of Judas" in Teror is a popular tradition held at the end of Holy Week, rich in symbolism and festive spirit. In this unique custom, a figure representing Judas—the traitor from the biblical story—is crafted and set on fire in a communal act that blends social critique, humor, and symbolic renewal. The burning, often accompanied by music, satire, and community participation, transforms the streets of Teror into a gathering space where religious, cultural, and playful elements intertwine, marking the end of Easter with a ritual full of identity and popular expression.
