Liberal Amazon #28 - CÍRIO DE NAZARÉ - Devotion beyond territorial boundaries
Description
On Sunday, October 9, Círio de Nazaré will fill up the streets of Belém, in Pará, in its 230th edition. It is the most expected of all Círios. It draws the attention of Brazil and of the World, gathering more than two million people going on a pilgrimage with so intense energy that it cannot be unnoticed even by people from other religions and cultures.
But, It is not by chance that Our Lady of Nazareth is known as the Queen of the Amazon. Of the nine states in the Legal Amazon, only Mato Grosso does not have a Círio. In most states, the processions even coincide with those in the capital of Pará, with many tributes in common, but also with many particularities, which give a special and completely distinct tone to the eyes of those who, until then, only associated the Círio with the original and most traditional procession in Belém.
So go to liberalamazon.com and learn more about all the Círios de Nazaré from the Amazon.
