Day 8 - Easter Sunday 12th April 2009

Mivumoni

Easter Sunday - in Mivumoni parish that's 2 Masses, in the bigger outstations. The first is in Shimba Hills, serving the south of the parish. The music is lively, and young and old clap and sway.

Most animated of all, this guy put his whole body into playing his shaker.

The church was pretty full.
