Description
-
This image depicts an indigenous sacristan pulling on two ropes attached to the church's bells in the bell tower to call parishioners to mass. The author explains that the sacristan gets paid twelve pesos, six corns, six potatoes, and a piece of clothing for himself and his wife each year for his services. The priest of the church pays the sacristan as the sacristan assists him with baptisms, mass, and confessions.
