Folks,
for possibly hundreds of years, there was a tradition to burn a "Judeo"(made
of cloth and stuffed with straw and fireworks) on the feast of Sao Joao ,
which is today.  I think the church was mainly responsible for putting an
end to this custom. Does anyone know how this custom originated, and did the
judeo signify Judas, or a Jew?
