Fatima

Sharing "Fatima", a very short audio-slide show about a religious celebration in the tiny village of El Gastor in Spain´s Sierra de Cádiz, Andalusía.

Local women host the statue of Our Lady of Fatima in their homes every day of May, creating altars to place her on. Other villagers gather at the homes, sharing company and food.

Since today´s young aren´t interested in this tradition, this Our Lady of Fatima celebration from El Gastor, like many other traditional Catholic rituals, it´s likely to disappear with today´s senior generation.

Rocio. Eternal marshlands.

Rocio is an audiovisual story about the Virgin of Rocío pilgrimage. Millions of pilgrims travel every year from all over of Spain and Europe to the Hermitage of El Rocío, located in the countryside of Almonte, Huelva inside the Doñana National Park natural reserve in Andalusia. The pilgrimage coincides with the "whitsun," which commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon Christ's disciples.
