His Eminence referred to the life of Saint Mamatos, and taking the occasion of the cemetery that surrounds the Holy Church, he concluded: "Saint Mama we honor and celebrate in this place, which for your village is sacred, because this is where your forefathers and relatives lie. It is a place of contemplation and silence, and for this reason we should always visit him with the corresponding respect and when they are present services, but also when we simply come to light the candle of the Saint and at the graves of our people and invoke the mercy and grace of God to rest them after the Saints and the righteous ".
