their children, every ten years, would
give to the world living representa-
ton of the Savior's suffering and
crucifixion.
God heard their prayer, and true to
their vow, these devout people have
for several weeks, in each recurring
ten years, given this religious per-
formanoe. All the performers, num-
bering six hundred, are selected be-
cause of their eminent piety. and some
of them give many weeks of conse-
Grafton and holy living as special pre-
paration for this sublime event, which
they present as IL reverent act of wor-
ship.
