Assomption

National holiday. A significant day for Burkina's Catholic community. Churches fill, choirs sing, and afterward everyone gathers for a meal that always includes riz gras. The faith runs deep in the Centre-Ouest and the processions through Koudougou and Ouaga are a sight that stays with you.
