Meaning of colgar los hábitos en una higuera

colgar los hábitos en una higuera
  22

It is an extension of the saying "hanging the habits", adding to the fig tree as a reference to the myth about the suicide of Judas, who would have hanged himself on a branch of that tree after betraying Jesus. The phrase is then interpreted as a "betrayal of the Church by abandoning the clerical state."
