In the morning, a procession followed a wagon carrying an effigy of Judas, (mens clothes stuffed with straw and firecrackers with a mask for the face) and also an effigy of the Devil wearing a long black cloak and carrying rosary beads. (They believed the Devil dressed himself in priest's robes to taunt Judas into betraying Jesus--in other words, 'the wolf in sheep's clothing). After going around the town gathering everyone, the processional hung these two effigies and set firecrackers off and finally burned the effigies. Sometimes, instead of straw stuffing, they would use one hundred pounds of flour and jab it until all the flour spilled out. Some people, not knowing the Devil's place, used to say 'Mrs. Judas', but according to Church history, all plays had the Devil dressed in the Priest's robes, carrying a whip in one hand and rosary beads in the other, jesting of how we should be able to know the Devil in cloth or cover". -- Mrs. Constance Kambish, Secretary-Treasurer, New Almaden Historical Society.
