Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pagan at the Shrine
Santa Fe even now is celebrated for its processions, but it used to be famed for religious pomp of every kind.
Thus in Holy Week there were passion plays, in which people of repute took leading parts, and Corpus Cristi was the greatest day in the year, when the bal conies and windows were hung with damask, silk cloths, or even coloured blankets, whilst the Host went through the city escorted by fixed bayonets.
