A few of the faithful were there kissing the large toe of the Saint's right foot.
Some of them carefully wiped it before applying their lips; others, with no thought of cleanliness, kissed it, pressed their foreheads to it, and then kissed it again.

Next, Pierre turned into the transept on the left, where stand the confessionals.

Priests are ever stationed there, ready to confess penitents in every language.

Others wait, holding long staves, with which they lightly tap the heads of kneeling sinners, who thereby obtain thirty days' indulgence.

However, there were few people present, and inside the small wooden boxes the priests occupied their leisure time in reading and writing, as if they were at home.
