IN my way to the capitol I met a coach, in which were two recollet Friars, the one seated backwards, the other forwards, holding between their legs something I could not distinguish. Every one stopped and saluted with profound respect. I asked to whom this reverence was addressed. It is, answered one of the standers-by, to the Bambino, which these good Fathers are carrying to a Prelate, who is very ill and given over by his physicians.
I afterwards procured an explanation what this Bambino was. The Bambino is a little wooden Jesus, richly dressed and ornamented.
The Convent, which has the good fortune to possess this image, neither has, nor needs any other patrimony.
As soon as any person (who can afford the expense,) is seriously ill, they send for the Bambino, and always in a coach, for he never goes on foot. Two Recollets conduct, and place him by the sick man, where they remain, at his expense, until he dies or recovers.
