Someone who knows the short prayer, generally the gobernador, mumbles it, while the congregation cross themselves from time to time.

If no one present knows the prayer, the Indians stand for a while silently, then cross themselves, and the service is over.
After church they meet outside for the second purpose that brings them to the village, namely, the transaction of whatever judicial business may be on hand, generally the adjustment of a theft, a marriage, etc.
I arrived in the pueblo on a Sunday, and a great many Indians had come in.

Easter was approaching, and every Sunday during Lent, according to early missionaries' custom, the so-called "Pharisees" make their appearance.

These are men who play an important part in the Easter festival, which always lasts several days.

They paint their faces hideously, tog themselves up with feathers on their sombreros, and carry wooden swords painted with red figures.
