In Chains

A detail from the Good Friday Procession of Xaghra Gozo (Malta). It is a custom in my country that people pray God for a 'favour' (example to be healed from a sickness). They make a vow-that if what they ask for is granted they carry chains in the Good Friday Procession. These people are infact honouring their vows. It is also a custom to wear such clothing as to hide their identity.

    Also had time to look at your photos. I like a lot the photo "Where the streets have no name"
    Cheers
