Légende

The exorcism, 19th century. Inside a church, a group of veiled women surround a figure of indeterminate gender, dressed in white petticoats with a priestly stole across the chest, and wearing white stockings and slippers. The figure sits on the floor, screaming with wild eyes directed toward the altar, while two women hold them by the arms. A priest reads the exorcism ritual and sprinkles the possessed figure with holy water.
