Hi Marta
I like this picture very much!
Fantastic colours in the arrangement of flowers.
Really very fitting for All Saints day, and November.
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!

Actually this "dualism" has been practiced for a long time. Despite the prevalence of Christianity, people kept some of the traditions - most notably healing and folk festivals (did you know that even Christmas was banned by Catholics in England in 17th C for a short period). While some of the customs were being punished, other merged into a Christian way (such as Easter, which has folk practice but a major mass in the year). Perhaps the biggest presence of such dualism is the praying to Mary, mother of God which is in fact seen as a blasphemy by large part of Christians, while silently tolerated by others. My explanation is the "need" of a Great Mother divine figure, as seen in all old religions. And the need persist even due - or just because - of patriarchal narrative of the Christianity.

Wow - wunderschön

I think I prefer your way Marta!
A beautiful picture.
