Matachines Dancers...

Entertainment at this past weekends festival opened with Matachines dancers from St Andrew Parish in Lufkin.


They are religious dancers who perform through out the year with their most important season being Advent and the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which falls during that time. The dancers act out the drama of Montezuma, but most join the group to venerate Mother Mary, a Saint chosen by the group or simply worship and praise to God.


The bad guy of the play, sometimes dressed as a bull, sometimes masked, portrays Satan.
