Description |
Annotation translation: "Mrs Burckhardt writes: Ponuama [reading uncertain] is a hindu girl. She has been coming to the mission house frequently to listen to stories from the Bible, and believes in Christ. The priest forced her to take part in a devil's dance every night for 5 days. In this dance twelve young girls had to turn round and round till they were nearly losing consciousness. Her only comfort was that I could be with her in these occasions. The evening before this began she asked me to tell her the Christmas story."; Annotation: "Frau Dr. Burckhardt schreibt: Ponuama [Entzifferung unklar], ein Hindumädchen, die immer ins Missionshaus kam, biblische Geschichten zu hören u. an Christus glaubte. Der Priester zwang sie an einem Teufelstanz teilzunehmen, der 5 Tage jede Nacht wiederholt wurde + wo 12 junge Mädchen bis z. Bewusstlosigkeit sich drehen mussten. Ihr einziger Trost war, dass ich dabei sein konnte. Am Abend vorher bat sie mich ihr d. Weihnachtsgesch. zu erzählen."; Stamped: "Museum der Basler Mission, Basel, Missionsstrasse 21." |
