A Eucharist at St. Denis Parish near Los Angeles, California, on December 12, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, included a pagan ritual.
After the offertory, a half-naked man draped in feathers performed a fire ceremony in front of the altar. This included the ritual of extinguishing the flame and indigenous dances.
The dance around the flame has its roots in animistic paganism. The dancer purifies himself by bathing in the flame and connecting with the “energy” of the flame.
The indigenous man explained the pagan ceremony and received applause from the congregation.
During the Eucharist, Communion was distributed from large bowls. The remaining hosts were collected by a woman in blue jeans and poured into a single bowl.
