The hunt for matracas

As I am not in Spain or any other Spanish speaking country, I’m not exactly tripping over Spanish churches and “matracas” (‘In Spain and Spanish-speaking countries: a wooden rattle used instead of church bells on Good Friday, and often at other celebrations’, OED). I did find this interesting shop, however, and if there’s anywhere that they would have been found, it would have been here. I suspect the Easter overtones of the OED word of the day are going to prove challenging this weekend!
Day #108 of a 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED word of the day.
