Semana Santa

Semana Santa is Easter in Brazil, and it is celebrated during the holy week. With the world's largest Catholic population, it is unquestionably one of the most important Brazil holidays, which also marks the start of the country's autumn season. Semana Santa is celebrated all over the country, but Ouro Preto has the most brilliant and colorful celebration.

The week-long Semana Santa is celebrated by visiting friends and family, exchanging pleasantries, and sending well wishes nests with eggs and chocolates. To create stunning designs and themes, the streets are adorned with a carpet of vividly colored flowers, sand, and sawdust. The children dress up in bright outfits and sing religious songs, adding to the city's joyous atmosphere.
