Semana Santa

Celebrated on the holy week, Semana Santa is Easter in Brazil. With the world’s largest Catholic population, certainly, it is certainly one of the most important Brazil festivals that also marks the beginning of the autumn season in the country. Semana Santa is celebrated across the country but the most vibrant and colorful celebration is experienced at Ouro Preto. With religious services all around, the week-long Semana Santa is rejoiced by visiting near and dear ones, exchanging greetings, and good wishes nested with eggs and chocolates. The streets are decorated with a carpet of brightly colored flowers, sand, and sawdust to create beautiful designs and themes. The children dress up in vibrant dresses and sing religious songs that enhance the festive vibe of the city.
