He was a source of pride, treated with due respect, sometimes passed down from generation to generation became known folk relics. It said everything about the site, its traditions and household of. It was a determinant of identity and belonging settlers to the region. Assumed only on important occasions, became a symbol of dignified and solemn ceremony.
