the harrowing of hell

     The "Harrowing of Hell" is the title of a sort of standard morality play put on in medieval Europe. Harrowing means raking up, as with a large farm implement that looks like a rake. Each year when the play was put on, different groups would present their own version of  "there ought to be a special place in hell for..."  To the bakers, there ought to be a special place in hell for people who bake bad bread. To the brewers, there ought to be a special place in hell for people who give short measure of ale. A "Harrowing of Hell " play might have dozens of "acts", each put on by a different trade group or guild, each sure that there ought to be a special place in hell for someone who practiced their own trade badly.  If anyone would consider reviving this custom, I think it might be quite popular.
