Back in Brazil after a secret twelve-day visit to Portugal that was more comic odyssey than triumphal march, he confessed that he had vainly tried to join the abortive New Year's coup at Beja (TIME, Jan. 12).

The Massacre of the Innocents; Christ's boyhood, baptism and temptation in the desert; Salome's Dance and the murder of John the Baptist; the Sermon on the Mount, the triumphal procession to Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, the Trial before Pilate, the Ascent of Calvary, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection.
