The Mamarrachos were detained on St. John’s Day, St. Peter’s Day, St. Christine’s Day, St. James the Apostle’s Day, St. Anne’s Day (Carnival History, 2008.)

This kind of system is similar to that used to control traffic in London, Singapore, and Stockholm.

The modern day Anglo-Catholic movement can be traced back to the Oxford Movement of the Victorian era.
