The elder held the goat as the animal that could foretell if the weather would be good or bad.

Originally, the ´´goat dance´´ (the killing, mourning, burial and resurrection ) was a grave and serious ceremony. In time it has turned into a happy ritual meant to bring prosperity in the year to come.

Nowadays, this game has remained a pretext to remember traditions from long ago and also take pride in the colorful traditional costumes worn on this occasion.
