| Title: | Villagers on Their Way to Church |
|---|
| Notes: | As the local parish church prepares for services, villagers and rural peasants make their way down the path. The candlelit procession inside the church, as well as the candles held by the approaching villagers, suggest the celebration of Candlemas, a church holiday observed the second of February. |
