Juan Rulfo<br />

Nayarit, Judea Cora. The "Judios" paints their bodies symbolizing the Evil forces and struggles in the streets looking for Jesus. Coras are a small indigenous people living scattered in the mountains of Sierra Madre Central in the Mexican state of Nayarit. The Coras still follow their traditions, protecting in a very strong way their secret rites, which anthropologists believe are the most interesting of Central America for their syncretism. The Holy Week, the most important religious event of the year, is characterized by impressive ceremonies. The catholic priest doesn’t participate and the Black Centurion is the captain of Judea, the “Jews”, the devil’s militia looking for Jesus Christ to kill him. Violence is an essential part of the ceremonies and somebody can be killed in the struggles with wood swords.
