64 WORSHIP. Beside prayers and sacrifices, one essential feature of the heathen cultus remains to be brought out : the solemn carrying about of divine images. The divinity was not to remain rooted to one spot, but at various times to bestow its presence on the entire compass of the land (see ch. XIV). So Nerthus rode in state (invehebatur populis), and Berecyrithia (ch. XIII), so Fro travelled out in spring, so the sacred ship, the sacred plough was carried round (ch. XIII Isis). The figure of the unknown Gothic god rode in its waggon (ch. VI). Fetching-in the Summer or May, carrying-out Winter and Death, are founded on a similar view. Holda, Berhta and the like beings all make their circuit at stated seasons, to the heathen s joy and the Christian s terror ; even the march of Wuotan s host may be so interpreted (conf. ch. XXXI. Frau Gauden). When Fro had ceased to appear, Dietrich with the ber .(boar) and Dietrich Bern still showed themselves (ch. X. XXXI), or the sonargoltr (atonement-boar) was conveyed to the heroes banquet (ch. X), and the boar led round the benches (p. 51). Among public legal observances, the progress of a newly elected king along the highways, the solemn lustration of roads, the beating of bounds, at which in olden times gods images and priests can hardly have been wanting, are all the same kind of thing. After the conversion, the church permanently sanctioned such processions, except that the Madonna and saints images were carried, particu larly when drought, bad crops, pestilence or war had set in, so as to sacred bring back rain (ch. XX), fertility of soil, healing and victory ; images were even carried to help in putting out a fire. The Indicul. paganiar. XXVIII tells de simulacra quod per campos portant, on which Eccard 1, 437 gives an important passage from the manuscript Vita Marcsvidis : (not Maresvidis) statuimus ut annuatim secunda feria pentecostes patronum ecclesiae in parochiis vestris longo cwibitu circumferentes et domos vestras lustrantes, et pro gentilitio amlarvali in lacrymis et varia devotione vos ipsos mactetis et ad refectionem pauperum eleemosynam comportetis, et in hac curti pernoctantes super reliquias vigiliis et cantibus solennisetis, ut praedicto mane determinaturn a vobis anibitum pia lustratione com- plentes ad monasterium cum honore debito reportetis. Confido autem de patroni hujus misericordia, quod sic db ca gyrade tcrrae scmina ulcrius provcniant, et variae aeris inclementiae cessent. The Roman ambarvalia were purifications of fields, and sacrifices were
