SANTA FEE, N. NJ, May 23.-Details
If wierd religious ceremonies enacted By,
members of the Hermanos de Lux
Brothers of Light were brought to Sante
Fe this week by tourists who had wit
messed the crucifixion of two men in the
village of Abiquiu, in northern New Mex
leo, in the county Of Rio Arriba, close
to the Sante Fe National Forest.
According to these witnesses, the Holy
Week ceremonies of the Penitentes In
cluded ceremonies Of fervent Worship
pers who f1ogged themselves with 1ageI-
Informs that had been dipped in brine
/ In order to increase the pain from
scourging. The strange performances
were climaxed on Good Friday with the
crucihxion of two nude men on a crude
wooden cross in emulation of the pas
sion of Christ
The two men endured agonies on the
cross for fully thirty minutes, when they
were taken down, bleeding and exhaust
ed. Their injuries were said to be pain
ful, though not fatal
Numerous other scenes depicting the
suffering of Christ, from Gethsemane to
Calvary, were reported by the tourists.
all of which were carried out with great
religious fervor and much soIemnity.
The Brothers of Light, or Penitentes,
are religious order dating from pagan
times. Followers of the order settled
in remote communities of old and New
Mexico, and a few descendants have been
discovered at intervals during the past
half century in this section of the South
west. Disapproval of their customs have
caused the Penitentes to carefully guard
their religious rites and seldom have
their ceremonies been witnessed by out
iders.
