On Christmas day an impressive
sight may be seen IN Roumania. A
great procession Of priests, and Rou-
manians dressed to represent different
Biblical characters, march slowly to-
the River Danube, singing chants tia
whole way. When they arrive at the
glistening. frozen stream, 1t Is blessed
with great ceremony by the priests, the
ice is broken and a small wooden cross
thrown into the water. The cross Is
considered to bring great good fortune
to whomever RECEIVERS It.
In the land Of windmills and peoples
there is also a procession Of all the men
OF the villages, but this occars at mid
night on Christnas Eve The villagers
in quaint. varied costumes, assemble in
the public square where one Of their
number is selected to bear a great IL
Illuminated star on a long pole. With
the star to guide them through the
often unlighted streets the procession
winds through the village, the men

was living again in the past that pre-
