Singing at Fountains: Rheinfelden’s St Sebastian Brethren
In Rheinfelden Switzerland the 12 Sebastiani brethren sing at seven fountains on Christmas Eve to ward off plague. Since 1540 they guard the town with prayers and processions, joining midnight mass with lanterns before St. Sebastian. On New Year’s Eve they repeat a fountain round with a blessing for safety from war and pestilence.
