Cristina Garcia Rodero La Maya, folkloric tradition. Spain. 2016.
“La Maya represents the goddess of spring. Sitting on top of an altar, decorated with flowers and jewelry in her hair, dressed with an embroidered shawl
(...) and a white petticoat, surrounded by colored covers and field flowers that mothers, grandmothers and neighbors had placed to enhance her beauty. There she will lay still without speaking, with a lost look like a goddess to worship and celebrate.”
