Quilombo de Praia, Matias Cardoso - Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2015
Quilombola men and women bless the Earth during a celebration for the retaking of a territory. Those who were physically fit, kneeled; those who weren’t, extended their hands:
"We ask that you be fertile and prosperous, Amen!"
During that day, there was a lot of joy, food, music, prayers and samba de roda. At the end of prayers and the sound of the drums, it beautifully rained for five minutes.
