Europe, 1349
Groups of hooded men, wearing white robes stamped front and back with a red cross, are moving forward and backward crosswise over Europe, endeavoring to give penance for the desolates of the Black Death by whipping themselves in custom open services.
The Flagellant Brahren, as they are known, trust that the torment is a discipline for human sin, and that by scourging themselves they can demonstrate humankind's contrition. They go in gatherings of anything from 50 to 500 men, and are high ly sorted out. Driven by a layman - the ace - they move from town to town to play out their ceremonies. Singing psalms and wailing, the men beat themselves with scourges studded with iron spikes. Blood spouts from their many injuries, and the spikes insert themselves in the torn substance. The custom is perform ed out in the open twice every day.
Such displays are profoundly compelling. The foundation may concentrate their assaults on chapel debasement and their advancement of a flood of savage hostile to Semitism. be that as it may, the masses venerate the flagellants as living saints. Their deeds are to be respected and their charges to be done.
