Meskipun bukanlah bagian resmi dari musim liturgi Paskah, kebiasaan tersebut biasanya dijadikan bagian dari adegan ulang dari [[Kesengsaraan Yesus]] yang dipraktekkan oleh para umat saat Paskah. Kebiasaannya beragam, namun biasanya orang-orangan Yudas digantung (adegan ulang dari {{Alkitab|Matius 27:5}}) pada [[Jumat Agung]], kemudian dibakar pada malam Minggu Paskah.
