Christmas morning, a deranged Reverend Gwyon treats his
congregation to a Mithraic ceremony. He is sent to an
asylum, where he is apparently crucified by a fellow
patient named Farisy. "Dick," the reverend's
young replacement, sends his ashes to the Real Monasterio
de Nuestra Señora de la Otra Vez.
