[Sp.]
In Spain: a kind of mechanical wooden rattle used instead of church bells on Good Friday.
1910C. B. Luffmann Quiet Days in Spain i. 14 A singular contrivance in the high towers takes the place of bells on Good Friday; this is the ‘mattraca’—three long boxes of heavy wood arranged round a spindle, with several roughly fashioned hammers with rings in their handles, through which a rod is run to keep them in place. At short intervals during the whole of Good Friday the mattraca is turned round, grindstone fashion, and creates a most awful din... As I can find no clue to the origin of the mattraca, I fall back on the belief that it was intended to inform the multitude of the building of, or nailing of Christ to, the cross.1974S. E. Morison European Discovery of America: Southern Voyages v. 92 Holy Week in Seville... The supreme Passion on Good Friday when one heard the clacking of the matraca in place of cheerful bells.
