James George Frazer
The Mass of Saint-Sécaire is a ritual supposed to have been performed in Gascony, France. The best-known account of the Mass is that of James George Frazer in his 1890 omnibus "The Golden Bough"; Frazer's description, in turn, was taken nearly verbatim from a less well-known French book published in 1883, "Quatorze superstitions populaires de la Gascogne" ("Fourteen Popular Superstitions of Gascony"), by Jean-François Bladé.
