visit to Seville, Spain, thus describesthe royal party's visit to one of thechurches: "On a small platform, bril-liantly lighted up, were figures made ofwax or carved wood to represent thedeath of our Saviour, and the Virginstanding with the Apostles at the footof the cross. These weird pantomimesof sacred history are got up with greatsplendor, and the robes of the figuresare made of velvet embroidered withgold. The ladies of Seville lend theirdiamonds and jewelry to adorn the Ma-donnas. One of these images carried$75,000 worth of jewelry. Each in turnwas advanced to the balustrade of theroyal dais, while military bands playedsacred music and the priests sent up allaround clouds of incense. The scenewas the more striking when the lastprocession marched past at nightfall,and the square was lighted up by thetapers; tie royal dais was the onlyspot illuminated with gaslights."
