Describe the major event before school let out for the Christmas holidays.

Convinced that Ultima placed a witches' curse on his dead daughter, Tenorio and his posse would only be appeased if Ultima could successfully cross the threshold guarded by the Holy Cross. Custom mantained that a witch cannot walk through a door marked by the sign of Christ. If she did, she was free and would not be punished. The simple cross was made and Ultima walked through the door unharmed. The crowd abided by the test, but did not understand it and then began to break up.
