On Holy Thursday, residents in Pedregal de Santo Domingo, Mexico City, are carrying out a procession with devil masks as part of the Holy Week celebrations. Don Victor Gasca, a migrant from the State of Michoacan who arrived in this area of the Coyoacan mayor's office more than 40 years ago seeking better life opportunities, has rooted himself in its traditions and is promoting the Dance of the Judas during the Passion of Christ. People are watching Don Victor Gasca represent Judas alongside his children, and the idea is becoming popular among the residents of the neighborhood. Those who dress up as Judas are giving out symbolic whips for people to atone for their sins before dancing with them. The National School of Social Work of the National Autonomous University of Mexico states that the Colonia Pedregal de Santo Domingo will be turning 53 years old in 2024. Its streets, planned on volcanic rocks from the Xitle eruption 1,700 years ago, are home to the first settlers--migrants from various states of the Mexican Republic--who are leaders in organization and resistance in defense of land and decent housing.
