Mystery unveils right in front of my eyes when I enter Soatanana village. A large procession, everyone wearing white and singing religious hymns, moves towards the local church. It feels like I am an unwelcomed outsider, who will ruin the solemn moment by the sound of a camera shutter. Is it even possible to capture this divine light?

For these people, I’m just a nomadic wanderer. So they humbly do whatever the church teaches them. They invite me to join the worship and share the meal afterwards.

It feels marvellous that such a truly biblical story revives in the middle of rural Madagascar.
