Long ago when the world had to be remade, the Santo Entierro guided man. He warned them of a great flood that would come and he made them a large box, a boat, as refuge for the people, and he loaded it with animals and seeds. When the waters receded, a chinacate (vampire bat) was released. The world was just mud, all fat and featureless. The bat darted hither and yon, reforming mountains and canyons in the mud. When the world was whole again, Santo Entierro told the people to return to earth and they with the animals leapt from the boat and life began anew. Later some of those soldiers we call the Fariseoa became complainers and made a revolution against Santo Entierro. They folowed him and seized him and tied his hands. Then they killed him with a lance thrust. That is why he lies dead in his box in the church. If the Fariseos had not killed him there would be no death today, for this is why mankind has to die. This is the Santo Entierro which is "todo el mundo", the chanaka, the world. He si God. The Dios Santos is his Fiesta, the greatest of the Indians' (fiestas). Te Dios Santos is the fiesta of the Santo Entierro and the Fariseos. The other fiestas are for the little santos.* *Myth recorded by Tom Hinton and found among his notes for this paper.
