Abstract
Mi contribución al III Coloquio Internacional sobre los Elementos de la Naturaleza (centrado en esta ocasión sobre el Fuego), que tuvo lugar en Granada en 1995, fue este ensayo sobre las variantes y el simbolismo del personaje ritual del Judas, quien suele terminar pasto de las llamas. A partir de los estudios de Frazer, Caro Baroja, Propp y Bajtin, traté de interpretar los significados del universo semántico configurado por el conjunto diacrónico de leyendas, imágenes y acciones asociadas con el traidor apóstol de Cristo, tanto en España e hispanoamérica como en otras culturas; en rituales festivos de Año Nuevo, Carnaval y Sábado Santo. El resultado es un sorprendente sistema simbólico.

The result is a surprising symbolic system.
