Brazilian traditions: Festa de Sao Benedito (by Latuff)
Copyright-free by Brazilian cartoonist Latuff, on behalf of Brazilian people...my people.
Dear brothers and sisters-in-arts,
Last weekend I was in Barra do Jucu, city of Vila Velha, state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. There I followed a traditional event from local culture: Festa de Sao Benedito. Tradition tells that a ship carrying slaves along Espirito Santo coast shipwrecked and they called on Sao benedito (Catholic Black saint) for his protection. They were immediately saved by ship's flagpole. The Festa de Sao Benedito turned into the most popular in whole state. The "Fincada do Mastro" (driving flagpole) is carried out in December 27, in front of Barra do Jucu church, and removal at January 20. Procession goes through streets of Barra do Jucu, on the rythm of "congo", traditional music which mix elements from Indigenous, Portuguese and, mainly, Black African culture.
On Sunday happened the removal of flagpole and the following pictures intend to depict a few of this Brazilian tradition. Hope you like it.
Thank you!

Where are the massacred Jews? How can there be happiness in Latuff's world if there are no massacred Jews?
I am perplexed.

Nah! They are not in Barra do Jucu.
Your "massacred Jews" are driving Merkava tanks and killing Palestinian stone-thrower kids for "self-defence..."
