this claim is substantiated by the fact that in the netherlands, the words "hocus pocus" are usually accompanied by the additional words "pilatus pas", and this is said to be based on a post-reformation parody of the traditional catholic rite of transubstantiation during mass, being a dutch corruption of the latin words ""hoc est corpus meum"" and the credo, which reads in part, ""sub pontio pilato passus et sepultus est"", meaning "under pontius pilate he suffered and was buried". in a similar way the phrase is in scandinavia usually accompanied by "filiokus", a corruption of the term filioque, from the latin version of the nicene creed, meaning “"and from the son"”. the variant spelling "filipokus" is common in russia, a predominantly eastern orthodox nation, as well as certain other post-soviet states. additionally, the word for "stage trick" in russian, "fokus", is derived from "hocus pocus".
