Tlie ceremonial rites connected with the worship of the mistletoe were performed on a scale of great iiiiigultlcnnce. in the sacred month of December, during the feast that ushered in the New Year. The time for the beginning of these rites was announced by the priests, who wi^it about shout inj outside the houses, "New all-heal, new all-heal!" or "The New Year is at hand, gather the mistletoe." The cry was followed by the congregating of tlie people In grcnt crowds, u> follpw the priests in solemn procession, as all went into the ^tvoods to search for the sacred plant. Two white hulls were taken for sacrificial purposes, while the three most ancient pontiffs carried respectively a bowl of bread, wine anil water, and a baud of ivory attached to a waiul, this representing power and justice. It must have been an Imposing procession, with tlie ancient pout ill's in full ceremonial costume leading the way. followed by tlie bards and priests of various ranks, each in the costume of Ills order, and following these tlie people. all eager to find tlie mystic plant that was a panacea against all ills and tlie true source of happiness to all who I could possess it.
