Florence is annually the scene Of a
curious ceremony which dates from
the time Of the crusades. As the gen.
orally accepted tradition runs, Godfrey
de Bouillon was accompanied on his
crusade by young Florentine noble
named Raniero, who was the first to
plant Christian banner on the walls
Of Jerusalem. Godfrey presented him
n reward for his bravery with lamp
lighted from the sacred fire before the
holy sepulcher. Raniero was forced to
resort to many peculiar devices In or
Der to preserve his holy relic intact
When the wind blew he turned In his
saddle, with his face toward his horses
tail wrapping his cloak around his pre-
eious burden, and often when passing
through populous towns, where this
strange attitude would have attracted
unpleasant attention, he inclosed the
1ame In an iron ball, which he. care.
Iessly rolled before him with his foot.
