This iualnt ceremonial dates back to the mists of antiquity and is said to have been of heathen origin. A cero Is a tall wooden pole or mast which passes through the middle of two lantern Bhaped frames of wood and canvas, separated from each other and surmounted by the figure of a saint. The lower extremity of the mast fits Into a wooden stretcher pro vlded with two long shafts, one at each end, so that It can be borne along the steep streets and up the mountain side above the town on the stalwart backs of the young and vigorous. These cerl are three In number, and each Is surmounted by the Image of separate saint the first by that of 3 Tti3 2vCO"J y 'lint cf Ft George and the third by that of St. Antonio. St. George's cero rests on supports epresentlng a heap of wine barrels, a collection from various shops, a drum, mace and battle-ax and a pile of spears, because that warrior saint Is the patron of the shop keepers, as ac cording to Napoleon I, he was in Eng land.
