Brazil loves festivals. It is an integral part of the national character to commemorate, party, and reunite friends together for any reason. Or even if there is no particular reason, anything provides a pretext for diversion, entertainment, commemoration or joyful partying for its own sake. The birth
of a child? It deserves a celebration. Meeting up with an old friend?
Likewise. A Friday feeling? A perfect excuse for a party. Feeling a bit low?
Why not let your hair down? These are but small ommemorations compared to when housands of people have the same intention resulting in a festive explosion. A samba school from Rio de Janeiro comprising of five thousand participants and a packed grand stand all dancing the samba together. A crowd going up and down the steep streets of the town of Olinda in Pernambuco after the music of the frevo for days on end. There are so many examples all over the country. There are religious festivals like the cleaning of the stairway leading to the Senhor de Bonfim church in Salvador, for the great procession of Círio de Nazaré in Belém do Pará.

There is no great difference between religious events or pagan festivals. It is through these popular manifestations that the people of Brazil let go and show their exuberance, these are moments that approach a palpable and tangible glory that exceeds the moment and lasts until at the least the next celebration.
