PILGRIMAGE TO LUXEMBURG
Tourist Tells of " Aluaaal Journey
- to Historic Shrill Afflicted
- . . ThouMinds Sotk Curos.
"I have just returned from a
visit to my native state of Luxem
burg, which I had not seen for
more than 30 years,' said Hein
rich Hirscbberg, of New Ulm,
Minm., to the Milwaukee Sentinel.
'it'fl arrived I in Luxemburg in
time to witness the annual pil
grimage to the Bhrine of St. vyile
brodus, who lived in the middle
ages and who was afflicted with
St. Vitus dance. It appears that
after the death of this saiat many
miraculous cures of persons' sim
ilarly afflicted were made at his
grave, and at the present time the
first Tuesday after Pentecost is
set apar t as his day.
Thousands of those afflicted
with St: Vitus dance visit his
shrine on that day. Those who are
so ill as to he unable to attend are
represented- by their relatives,
and this representation is said to
be as efficacious as a personal pil
grimage. . 3
"For two or three days before
the day of the pilgrimage all the
railroads running to the little vil
lage where the shrine is located
were crowded. The inns and
kneipen did an enormotjs busi
ness. On the morning of the trip
to the church f uly 20,000 afflicted
persons or relatives of sufferers
formed a line about half a mile
from the church. It was an inspir
ing sight. Ten abreast they
formed, those in each ten holding
hands. Many bands of music ac
companied the procession, which
started at a given signal.
"To the tune of a sabred march
the procession proceeded on its
way, the pilgrims marching slow
ly with a sort of dance step. Four
steps forward and two backward,
in rhythmic motion, they made the
half mile to the church in a short
time. The entrance to the church
was made with the greatest rever
ence, and before the altar, in a me
tallic casket, lay the corpse of the
saint, who has been dead for cen
turies. The casket was opened
enough to permit a view of the
body, being provided with hinges
for that purpose.
"Each passer looked upon the
sacred corpse upon the altar genu
flecting and inutterins; prayers
and making the sign of the cross
rapidly several times. After all
had viewed the coffin the pilgrim
age was over."
