About This Item
Chicago: Union Book Company Book. VG. Soft cover. 1901, pp193-201. Removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG. From the introduction: "The modern enlightenment of Europe is a class enlightenment only. The mass of many populations still dwell in the shadow of mediaeval superstition. As one example of this we append the following description of a curious religious mania, a relic from the centuries of mediaevalism. The party of travellers with whom we have to deal had seen all there was to see in Trier (Treves), and the suggestion was made to go see the jumping procession at Echternach, which would come off on Whit-Tuesaday. An expedition thither was accordingly organized." I believe this parade is still being held in Echternach on Pentecost Tuesday, but it may be called the Dancing Procession today. .
