A PARDON IN BRITTANY.
1t Affords the Best Chance of Seeing
Crowds of Peasants.

A pardon In Brittany begins with
vespers on the evening before the
feast. Pilgrims arrive for that and
sleep in the church, the chapel and
| under the hedges. They chant hymus
till they sing themselves to sleep The
first mass is said at 3 A. NJ. and when
all the pilgrims have received Holy
Communion they depart
An ordinary visitor arriving, say, at
10 A. NJ, will hardly see single pill
grim in the church. They attend
mass, says the Rosary Magazine take
part in the afternoon procession and
buy memorials and pictures at the
stalls.
One of the most largely attended
pardnns, and very representative
affair in it's character, is that of
Auray. which is situated in Morbihan,
on the southern coast of Brittany.
Here gather all whom the inter
cession of ST. Anne d'Auray has saved
from some peril Those who have
been saved from shipwreck carry por :
tons of the wrecked vessel; others
carry the shroud that had been pre-
pared for them; the lame carry on
their shoulders the crutches which
have become useless TO them, while
still others carry the rope or ladder by
which they escaped from the flames.
Sometimes and in some places there
is an evening procession carrying
lighted candles; in some there is a
bonfire lighted by the figure of an
angel that descends fro m the chapel
or church spire. Occasionally there
are games in the afterno on and dance
ing, but usually all is quiet and the
people disperse after the afternoon
procession
BY tle sea the arrival of the boats
with maidens in white and banners is
a pretty sight. at one pardon the
sailors proceed barefooteul in per-
torrance of vow made when de-
livered in a storm.
