It is a medieval tradition, stemming from a still primitive Christianity, reliving its religious fervour in the archaic recalling the fight between Evil and Good. After Christ’s death, the world is in the hands of the devils, who, early in the morning, headed by Death, knock on everybody’s door and rattle their chains to steal the passer-bys’ souls. In the afternoon they are challenged by Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Angels to protect Christ from the assault of the devils.
