FINAL RITES AT NIGHT Through nost of the year the brothers devote themselves to helping the sick and the needy and to burying the dead. During Lent their self-immolation reaches its strange peak. To escape the eyes of the curious the final rites are held mostly at night. Witnesses of the Holy Week ceremonies have described the processions of the flagellants, each penitent wielding a heavy scourge of yucca -the Spanish bayonet one shoulder and then the other until the blood from his bare, lacerated back soaks the thin cotton drawers that are his only garment. Other brothers bind themselves tightly with horsehair rope, lash cruelly-thorned cacti to their flesh and crawl on cactus-strewn paths to kiss the cross, erected on some local Calvary.

NAILS USED ONCE Legend says that once nails were used and that many 3 "Cristo" did not survive his ordeal, but church historians say there is no record of a crucifixion death. The service of the "tinieblasdarkness" concludes the Lenten penance. It is symbolic of the tortures of souls in purgatory before they reach the light of heaven. It ends on a note of peace with the chanting of hymns and the saying of prayers. But for days there seems to linger over the mountain and valley the shrill keening note of the "pito." piping the brothers on their duty, the smack of the yucca whip on flesh and the low monotone of the marchers: Penitence, penitence, Sin no more, unfortunate man, PAWNBROKERS SALES ESTATE OF EUGENE ROSENBAUM' AUCTIONEERS.
