Father Raligos, after thanking Ioanna with a loud kiss on the cheek, took a glass of water in his hands and sprinkled the geese three times, saying with devotion "In nomine Patris, Filii et Spiritus Sancti, hic erit hobie nobis piscis". "Amen," replied his companions, and soon only the bones remained of the newly baptized fish. After satisfying their hunger, the good fathers thought to quench their thirst as well; for the monks of that time, like the Arabs of Halima, first ate until they were full and then sought salty snacks and wine to refresh and dry their throats alternately, competing like the feasters of Mithridates to see who could drink more.
