An ancient God....II, a photo from Evora, South

Photographer's Note

Every year S. Miguel da Mota becomes the stage of one of the most beautiful ceremonies of worship I've seen in my country. This was the place of Endovelicus Santuary. Endovelicus is a God from the Iron Age, he was particularly important in the Iberian Peninsula and the worship became extinct owing to the growth of the Christian Faith, during the Roman Period. There are still many ancient ex-votos that were once offered to Endovelicus and studies keep being carried out. The worship actually exists, thanks to the Wicca Celtibera religion, that is keeping the Iberian Gods and Worship alive.
Every year there are conferences about this theme in Alandroal, the nearest town, and the Wicca members prepare a beautiful ceremony of worship on the sacred place.

Hello Ana,
I like very much how the rich, warm backdrop and the silhouette complement each other and create a suggestive and mesmerizing mood. The scene has an irresistible mystical charm and, at the same time, looks so clear, it describes the ritual effectively and could be almost considered a portrait. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Dear Ana
I like play of dhadows of wonderful woman and splendid colos in the background.
An interesting text, before Christianity, all had some of self deities, and Slavs which belongs my Serbian people.
Since Christcome to us, and with the death, death is defeated, and everyone in the graves Life gifts, it is that hardly any other religion closest man to God.
War regards

Well done.
