Earnest prayer 熱心な祈祷者

My Mon and I visited Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine last week．I intended to go to see cherry blossoms,　but somewhat we ended up with visiting the shrine. There, we happened to see an about-to-be wed couple processioning on the shrine yard. My Mom did not care about them because the bride was not her daughter. She just wanted to have lots of bressings from the Shinto God. She was earnestly praying and praying at the second main building there. She did not notice that a part of wedding ceremony was going to be taken place soon after she finished praying. The couple were waiting for her to finish.
先週、母と花見にだけ行く予定だったが、どうゆう訳か住吉大社にお参りに行くことになった。幸いにも（?）結婚式がそこで行われていた。が、母は自分の娘が花嫁になっているわけではないので全く興味がない。神様にお参りすることの方がもっと大切で,ただ、ひたすら、熱心に神様を拝みそして語りかけていた。その後ろで待つのは、今から儀式の一部が執り行われようと、母の祈りが終わるのを待つ婚礼関係者と花嫁花婿だった。
