Nevertheless nothing could be known about it, although the king showed great diligence in the matter, and had officers commissioned to go from house to house to make inquiry. . . . On Tuesday and other days following there were special processions from the parish churches and other churches of the city, which nearly all of them went to the said place. . . . And on the day of the Fete-Dieu, which was the 11th day of the said month of June, the king went in procession, most devoutly, with the parish of St.
"And the picture of the Holy Virgin! how good she looks!" "And the lamps; and the fine cloth on the table at the end, where the priest said mass, with his two friends dressed like himself, who gave him water and wine." "Say, Francois, do you recollect last year, the Fete-Dieu, when we saw from here all the little communicants, in their white veils, pass over the bridge?"
I am on my way to see Monseigneur the coadjutor, and he will, I am sure, send you his own thanks later." "I have done nothing as yet " began Baudoyer. "Monsieur le cure," interposed his wife, cutting him short. "I see I am forced to betray the whole secret. Monsieur Baudoyer hopes to complete the gift by sending you a dais for the coming Fete-Dieu.
In all the city there was but one thought, one object, one end in view. This was the great day of the Fete-Dieu. To this blessed feast of the Sacrament the townspeople had been looking forward for weeks. It is their June Christmas. The great day brings families together. From all the country round the farm wagons had been climbing the hill for hours. The peasants were in holiday dress.
He had been seen frequently to dress himself in clothes of different colours, assuming the hunting uniforms of various noblemen whom he visited, with so much audacity that one day in particular, during the Fete-Dieu, he and all his legation, in green uniforms laced with gold, broke through a procession which impeded them, in order to make their way to a hunting party at the Prince de Paar's; and fourthly, the immense debts contracted by him and his people, which were tardily and only in part discharged.
Passing along a passage I noticed a little altar in a recess, with a statue of the Virgin decked with roses and wild flowers. 'C'est le mois de Marie, said the captain. He lived with a sister, and she took care that religion was kept up in the house. It being the Fête-Dieu, preparations were being made in the village for the procession that was to take place after vespers.
For the Fete-Dieu had brought visitors besides ourselves from all the country round; and then "a first communion is like a marriage, all the relatives must come, as doubtless we knew," was a baldhead's friendly beginning of his soup and his talk, as we took our seats beside him.
See! here are sixty francs for your altar at the Fete-Dieu; you've wanted one for a long time. Come, cheer up, enjoy yourself, and get well! Hurrah for happiness!" He threw ten silver pieces of six francs each upon the bed, and took his wife's head between his hands and kissed her forehead. "My good wife, you are getting well, are not you?"
Its manufactories are, nevertheless, flourishing, though less improvement than could be expected is visible in the external aspect of the place. This being Sunday, and the Féte-Dieu, the garrison, with flags flying, drums beating, trumpets sounding, and all in gala dress, marched through the streets to attend Divine worship.
What floods of blood were shed to establish the Fete-Dieu, the Festival of Corpus Christi the institution by which Rome established her triumph in the question of the Real Presence, a schism which rent the Church during three centuries! The wars of the Count of Toulouse against the Albigenses were the tail end of that dispute. The Vaudois and the Albigenses refused to recognize this innovation."
