PETIT BRETON

Faith has been a very strong value in Brittany for quite a long time. All the folklore and litterature have been inspired by salvation thru faith and fear of Hell. Churches were full of believers many times a week and not just on Sundays. Here I imagine a young kid wearing his traditional outfit thoughtful in front of a religious banner

It is surprising to see that even the smallest churches or Chapels can afford those exquisite well preserved embroidered banners
