One of the most Impressive cus
toms in the world is observed in
Switzerland where the “singing at
the fountains” is done by the Se-
bastiani brotherhood in the pictur
esque spa town of Rheinfelden.
According to the Swiss writer
Gottleib Wyss, the custom is more
than 400 years old, dating from 1540
when a plague, sweeping through
many lands, visited Rheinfelden.
Twelve men formed a brotherhood
in honor of St. Sebastian, promising
to pray to him to safeguard their
town from further distress. They
also undertook to nurse those af
flicted by the plague and to bury
its victims.
If one of their own members died,
the brethren acted as pallbearers,
and up to the present day, by their
own selection, the membership of
the brotherhood has remained at 12.
Pestilence in the medieval period
was ascribed to the evil spirits in
the water, and when the Sebastian!
brethren make their rounds of
seven fountains on Christmas eve,
they start at the fountain in the
“Froschweide” where the plague
started in the 16th century. After
singing for the seventh time near
the town church, they join its con
gregation for midnight mass, first
placing their quaint mounted lan
tern, with its lighted candle, before
the altar of St. Sebastian.
For their Christmas eve singing
at twelve, brethren are dressed In
dark clothes and black silk top-hats.
Around their lantern-bearer they
stand in a circle and three times,
as the name of Christ is mentioned
in their song, they uncover their
heads.
On New Year’s eve, between 9
and 10 o’clock, the Brethren make
another round of the fountains, this
time singing an old song which
concludes with the wish that St.
Sebastin may intercede for all in
the New Year so that they may be
safeguarded from war, pestilence
and other perils, v
