Sangroncito writes about and photographs ^[1] “Lavagem do Bonfim” (The Washing of Bonfim Church) in which “Baianas -women dressed in the traditional all-white costume of turban and billowing long skirts – lead a 10 km procession from the lower city to the Church of Bonfim, followed by thousands of participants.”
