Barbara Cochran (a guest user) asked this question:

Language pair:	Spanish > English
Subject:	General
Level of diffculty:	Easy / medium
Word or term in question:	rezagos
Context:	Se instituyeron "misterios" en todos los pueblos conocidos por la historia en la era precristiana: En Egipto, la India, Persia, Caldea, Siria, Grecia y en todas las naciones mediterráneas. Entre los druidas, los godos, los escitas y los pueblos escandinavos. También en la China y entre los pueblos indígenas de America. Pueden obervarse rezagos de esos Misterios igualmente en las curiosas cermemonias y costumbres de las tribus de África y Australia, y en todos los pueblos llamados primitivos, a los que tal vez más justamente, deberíamos considerer como sobrevivientes en proceso de degeneración de razas y civilizaciones más antiguas.
