The village of Zafferana, in Sicily, lies on the slopes of the famous volcano, Mount Etna. Known for its delicious honey, flavoured by the chestnut trees of Etna’s slopes, the citizens love the mountain and refer to it with maternal vocabularies. Here, I caught the steeples of Zafferana’s cathedral with the Mother Mountain smouldering in the background. The citizens hope that another mother, Mary, will protect them from the volcano’s occasional wrath.
