Storyline
"The Burning of Judas is yet another of our country's many customs and traditions. Taking place every year around Easter, this centuries-old tradition involves setting fire to a doll covered in sawdust, rags, or newspaper, intended to represent Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus Christ's disciples and the famous traitor, and the main character in the second season of the soap opera "The Bible". However, this event isn't as innocent as it seems for everyone. In this episode of "Relatos da Vida do Nosso País", we'll learn the story of Mr. Vicente Judas, a bartender and treasurer of the Parada de Gonta Parish Council."
