Execution

 

Eyewitnesses described the scene of the execution by burning on 30 May 1431. Tied to a tall pillar at the Vieux-Marché in Rouen, she asked two of the clergy, Fr Martin Ladvenu and Fr Isambart de la Pierre, to hold a crucifix before her. An English soldier also constructed a small cross that she put in the front of her dress. After she died, the English raked back the coals to expose her charred body so that no one could claim she had escaped alive. They then burned the body twice more, to reduce it to ashes and prevent any collection of relics, and cast her remains into the Seine River.[92] The executioner, Geoffroy Thérage, later stated that he "greatly feared to be damned".

>>6191758 Chile’s Quasimodo Festival

 

Every year on the Sunday after Easter, many parts of Chile celebrate a long-standing tradition with the Festival of Quasimodo.

 

In Chile’s colonial times, the local priest would leave the church to go out to give communion to those that were sick or unable to make it to mass on Easter Sunday.

 

Legend has it that the priest was often attacked by bandits eager to steal any silver or money pieces he carried. To help prevent these attacks, the priest would be accompanied by an entourage of men, typically the Chilean cowboys called huasos.

 

Families would receive the priest and give him and his entourage food or drink (typically chicha or wine).

 

While there aren’t attacks on the priests in modern times, the tradition of the entourage has continued to form what is known as the Festival of Quasimodo.
