Dancing choir boys of Seville in a sacred carnival rite
A Spanish town article describes Seville's peculiar postvespers custom at the cathedral. Ten choir boys dressed as 17th century pages dance in two neat lines before the host, then end with a minuet like pirouette. The ritual lasts about twenty minutes and is followed by benediction. The origin is linked to St Ferdinand's conquest and Spain's autos sacramentales.
