Strange Religious Celebration

Count Octavio Morrell of Rome, Italy, never used a comb or brush on his hair. He relied solely on rudimentary muscles in his scalp. He could comb and part his hair by willpower alone, believe it or not.

In a moment I'll tell you about one of the strangest religious celebrations in the world. Once a year, in the morning of the 12th day of the third month, which is regarded as the Prophet's birthday, the Grand Sheriff of Cairo rides to the Sadia Mosque, his principal house of prayer.

In his path, the parishioners light on the ground in the closest formation, with legs extended and arms clasp beneath their foreheads. His horse walks over the prostrate bodies. However, it's very rare for anyone of his living carpet to be hurt.

They leave it or not.
