The Yaqui people of Northern Mexico and Southern Arizona have combined the Christian Easter rituals and their own tribal traditions into a unique Easter story that continues for several days and nights during Holy Week from Friday before Palm Sunday to Easter. The songs and dances tell the tale of good triumphing over evil, including the burning of a Judas effigy and Christ's resurrection. Since there is no tight schedule of events, watching the ritual requires a high-level attention span and patience as well as decorum, as this is a religious ceremony. No cameras are permitted. Refreshments are sold at booths around the plaza in front of the Neighborhood Center.
