Supercentenários

Viver em três séculos diferentes...


# 14
103 year-old
Portuguese widow,
dressed entirely in black wool
to mourn the loss
of her husband.
He died in his early twenties —
as do many fishermen in Portugal.

Many Portuguese women
hold strongly to their Catholic faith,
living as widows
for the rest of their lives.
