Brazil: A half Portuguese, half African Brazilian street party

Categories: Latin America, Brazil, Citizen Media, Ethnicity & Race, Religion

La Pasionaria Selénia [1] posts her very nice pictures of yesterday's Feast of Bonfim, one of the most important annual popular celebrations in Salvador. The veneration of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim [2] (Our Lord of the Good End) is an old Portuguese tradition that was imported to Brazil during colonial times, but in Salvador it gained the soul of African culture and religion.
