most usual objects are: crockery, pots, cups, plates, jugs, pots, vases, griddles and jars, as well as deco-rative pieces, including masks, fa-cades of houses and mobile scale.

cestors.

In this way of pray, fifteen

achieved much religious and

tourist value in many states of

the country. In Tostós living

twelve apostles who represent

Christ fell twelve times carry-

ing the cross; and scenarios as

the palace of Pilate, Herod

and the Mount of Olives are

prepared. It is then staged the

Sermon of the Seven Words,

with the last words spoken by

Christ. People who represent

the history are popular actors

and locals. The costume fits

the era and is made according

to biblical references.

What he saved by not ha-

ving any vehicle was spent

on helping the needy. He

wanted to meet the

teaching of the Divine Mas-

my disciple must deny

himself, making sacrifices".

He despised the vanity of

elegance. He studied in

Europe with the best scho-

lars, he was a professor at

the University and was the

founder of the Ministry of

Health, but always dressed

poorly. His clothes were

old and worn, but perfectly

clean. He wanted that Jesus

also say of him: "Blessed

are the poor, for theirs is

the kingdom of heaven".
