00:25:10		 The sacrament of confirmation. In Elizondo, a group of young people are going to receive this sacrament. Many of them say that they do not want to have anything to do with the church afterwards. However, not doing it is looked badly upon in small villages and parents make their children do it. The young should be braver and should refuse to do it if they do not believe in it.

00:11:48		 They have assassinated Juan Gerardi, bishop of Guatemala. They had a 36-year civil war in that country. More than a million people died there. The bishop created a human rights office and a movement in the diocese to not forget what happened during the civil war. He collected accounts from 55,000 people. He was killed two days after presenting the report with the results of the research. The report explained that 90% of the cases of violence were perpetrated by the army.

00:08:17		 Work in the church in Ziga. They have laid slabs and cleaned the stairs. The regional council subsidised part of the work and the rest was paid for by old residents of Ziga living in Mexico. The work was done in “auzolan”. There used to be smaller church before the current one. A great deal of the cost of building was paid by the local priest at that time. Lightening destroyed the tower in 1821, but it was fixed in two years. In 1904, the reredos currently in the church was brought from Saint Nicholas’ in Pamplona.
