If you happen to be in San Antonio in August and September, there's a good chance you may see the Deer Dance, which uses colorful costumes and takes place over several days. Although only one of the many activities celebrating the Feast of San Luis, the dance is generally accepted as being of preconquest origin. On Holy Thursdays around ten in the morning, a scarecrow resembling Judas with a brown masked face and smoking a pipe is hung at the back of the church. On Holy Saturday evening, after a mass is held, the "Judas" is killed by a firing squad.
