Impressions from El Hierro festivities

Impressions from a little religious festival and procession. Although catholic in superficial colour, it feels much older then that. Showing the virgin her island, her people, the life, the abundance of the earth, very emotional very heartfelt and a very strong sense for community, being together, sharing and transmitting the heritage trough generations. Very touching, joyful  and beautiful even for me as total stranger to these customs.
