“Christianity, especially Catholic Christianity, is kind of a weird phenomenon. It’s not far removed from shaman kind of stuff. ...If you’re a Navajo and get sick, really sick, what they do is take you into the hogan and plunk you down on the floor, and the medicine man does a sand painting of the history of the people. Because the assumption is that the reason why you’re sick is that you’ve lost your identity. So you have to be reconnected with it. “That’s really, in kind of a basic way, what Holy Week is about.” - Fr. John Fergueson Less
