Recordist's notes
After a terrible storm, some farmers went on the top of this volcano. There's a monastery and they came to pray. This recording is the time they pray inside the church. As you can hear, there's no celebration. They simply light candles and say good words to the holy virgin. Their manner to pray is completely simple.
