This full body male figure with the integral clothing of the chapayecas or pharisees, they belong to the Order called Kostumbre ya’ura, along with the knights. The chapayecas represent the so-called gok leom (those on foot). Throughout Lent, they take command of the community, even above the traditional government; They are in charge of sanctioning with physical punishment any person who disobeys traditional laws such as avoiding drinking alcoholic beverages, committing adultery, and all those who disturb public order.<\/p>\n
The presence of the chapayecas during Lent dominates the Yaqui territory. They represent the Jews and Roman soldiers, while they are in charge of watching over the tribe throughout that period. They initially come out during the Ash Wednesday mass and their participation culminates on Glory Saturday, where at the stake to burn Judas, their wooden masks and weapons are also incinerated (Mesri and Carl\u00f3n, 2019).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":913,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","class_list":["post-384","tnc_col_310_item","type-tnc_col_310_item","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tnc_tax_118-sculpture","tnc_tax_87-religion-and-culture-sonora-mexico-state-holy-week","tnc_tax_87-religious-dance-mexico","tnc_tax_87-syncretism-religion-mexico","tnc_tax_87-yaquis-social-life-and-customs","tainacan-item-single-page"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/384","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tnc_col_310_item"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/384\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":915,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tnc_col_310_item\/384\/revisions\/915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redescubramossonora.mx\/museumoftheyaquis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
