Christmas Nsit to
-Ne Seven fountains

In 1540 when a plague was rag
ing in Switzerland, IL pious men Of
Rheinfelden formed a brotherhood
to pray for St. Sebastian's aid, and
to nurse the sick and bury the dead.
Pestilence in medieval times was
ascribed to evil spirits in water, so
the Brotherhood of St. Sebastian Wis
tied each of the towns seven foun-
tains, praying and singing hymns at
each stop. They still continue this
custom, but only on Christmas Eve.
For this ritual the II Brothers are
dressed in black, with black silk
top hats. At every fountain they
gather around the lantern-bearer
and sing a medieval song. The
march begins at the Froschweide
fountain, where the plague is sup
posed to have started three CEN
turies ago. When they have passed
the seventh, they enter the church
for midnight mass, and ceremoni-
ously place their lantern on the al
tar of st. Sebastian.

it will slide over the top, It as
my wife's coffin was made. 1t
