Devotion

I took this picture on a rainy Sunday here in my little town/village of Budoia. People in Italy walk to church as a family, by themselves or with friends if there is no family left. It always surprises me how dedicated the older people here seem to be. I think this picture in front of the town church speaks for itself.
