    (continued from previous page)
    a may bush and worship it. It was such an old custom that the people kept it as a custom during the Christian times. They used to have about two hundred people on a platform watching the performance always. About six or seven people acted. First they sung then they danced and then they prayed. The acting was always done beautiful.
