Many beliefs are strongly rooted in traditional island culture. In 1930, Lecci was a place of pilgrimage, the inhabitants of the island moved to celebrate St. Therese representing an intermediary between the divine and the human world, a legend says that the Holy of Water began to flow on her body. The windows of the church beautifully illustrate and honor the patron saint of the town: Saint-Andre, but also St. Therese.
