CORPUS CHRISTI -- Dozens of people helped to transform the First Christian Church -- on Santa Fe -- into Renaissance England for a few hours.

This is the annual Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival celebrating the Epiphany.

The tradition began in Oxford, England during the 14th century when a young man -- on his way to Christmas mass -- overcame a boar attack by stuffing a book in the animal's mouth.

Today, everyone dressed in full costume and an orchestra and choir provided music for the local event.

Audiences enjoyed three different shows.

The last one was at 7:00 tonight.
