HOLY SATURDAY
RITES PERFORMED
Throng Witnesses "ExpIosion
of Sacred Cart" Ancient
Ceremony in italian City.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
FLORENCE, Italy, April 19-That
startling striking Holy Saturday cere-
rnony, known as The Explosion of the
Sacred Cart" which had its origin six
centuries ago. was performed here this
noon to the JOY of the assembled
peasants from outlying townships, and
large number of American and British
tourists spending the Easter holidays
on the banks of the Arno.
The Sacred Cart" under all its
coverings of red damask, flowing rib
bonS and garlandS of flowers, contained
secreted within a host of flrecrackerS,
rockets, pinWheels and other pictm-
esuucly infiammable affairs. A fuse on
top OF it was connected with special
wire that led to spot just above the
high altar of the nearby cathedral.
Artificial Pigeon Appears.
When the clergyman celebrating the
solemn high mass of today reached the
Gloria in Excelsis Dec" GLORY to God
in the highesb. and the bells began to
ring out from the steeple and the organ
to play. an artificial pigeon with a sky
rocket embedded in its tail was seen to
shoot down the wire and out over the
heads of the congregation into the
square beyond. Sizzling as it sped on
its way it soon hit the fuse on top OF
the cert, igniting it and setting off all
the concealed fireworks with a reSound-
ing sp'uttcr and roar.
The flaming bird that thus set the
cart on fire is regarded as symbolic Of
the holy spirit, which, in the version
of the acts Of the apostles, descended
upon the assembled disciples the first
pentecost day in that form.
Origin Of Ceremony Cited.
Todays ceremony originated in the
DAYS of the cruSadeS. PaZZo Del PaZZi
knight of rich F1orentine family, went
on a martial expedition to the Holy
Land in 1899, and tradition has it he
was the first to hoist the Christian flag
on the walls of Jerusalem. Godefroy de
Bouil:on, it appears, rewarded him with
two pieces of flint from the holy
sepu'ChTe. 1t is one of these that serves
the Florence Cathedral clergy to light
the paschal candle and the new fire. y
to set of the rocket in the pigeons tail
and finally to cause the sacred cart to
explode.
In olden times in Florence the
citizens used to light candles known as
"facelline" from the paschal fire, and
carry them through the old city in
procession. There used to be great
rivalry among them as to who should
be first to get light that way. In 1900
the lucky citizen proved to be a member
Of the PaZzi family, descendant of the
Pazzo, who had won the holy flint for
Florence.
Because of this coincidence, the
signoria, or government of the Florence
Republic, allowed the PaZzis to build
their car and set off their fireworks
every Holy Saturday in practically the
same manner as today.

clared, have improved vastly
over those of other years. An
improvement partially due to
the American Remount AsSOcia-

A few tumbles. due to the

their expected thrill. One lad,
a youngster showing in the
novice saddle class, was the

back in his saddle and finished
the class.
