Burning Judas: Easter tradition gets political
Judas, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, gets what's coming to him in this bit of faith-inspired Easter street theater: giant papier mache Judas figures -- they can cost as much as $4,000 to make -- are hung over crowds who light giant sparklers that hiss and crackle as the bad guy goes down in flames. "This has been handed down from generation to generation," said Leonardo Linares at the capital's Sonora marketplace, among a clutch of Judas figures getting ready to be torched. "This really is where you learn tradition, we have kept it up all this time because we have seen everything that this art has brought, felt it being handed from parents to children." One quirky Mexican twist: what started as a symbol of rage against a biblical traitor has expanded to the political realm. Anybody who is particularly unpopular could be in line, such as President Enrique Pena Nieto.
