Tzintzuntzan is the name of a town in Michoacán, Mexico. At Easter, so-called "spies" roam the streets on horseback, tirelessly searching for Jesus, house by house. Their intention is to arrest, condemn, torture and sacrifice him. This ancient tradition culminates in a Good Friday procession in which all the images of Christ are carried.
