Participants in the Judas Procession in Mexico City, Mexico, wear devil masks in observance of Holy Thursday and Holy Week celebrations on April 2, 2026. Those dressed as devils use whips, wear shorts or skirts, and strike each other as part of the tradition. This event, held in southern Mexico City, was promoted by Don Victor, a migrant from Michoacan, who arrived in the area over 40 years ago and introduced the Judas Dance during the Passion of Christ. The tradition spread among residents after people saw Don Victor portraying Judas with his children. According to the National School of Social Work of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, this area is celebrating its 55th anniversary. The streets were laid out on volcanic rocks from the eruption of the Xitle Volcano 1,700 years ago. The first inhabitants were migrants from various states of Mexico, including leaders of organizations and resistance groups advocating for land, water, and housing rights.
