At Carthage it is tradition for the Donatist bishop,
the chief of the Donatist quarter and some other
highstanding member of the community to play the High
Priest, Herod and Pilate. A simple parish priest is
chosen, by lot, to enact Jesus. Simon of Cyrene
(Simunu djul Chrinaga) is chosen from the layity,
Peter from among the deacons, the Blessed Mother from
the deaconesses. The soldiers are drawn from the
vidjilandis (the police force) so they may also serve
as crowd controll should anyone become overwrought.
After the conversion of the Autavija dynasty to the
Donatist faith, it became tradition for the king to
play Pilate at Carthage, and for king, bishop and
mayor of the quarter to lead a public pennance ending
with the words "Fistu veu pervia al pacadela nostru,
isu veu pervia als pedacelas nostrus," following the
drama.
