Extract

Easter
Brazil has the largest Catholic population in the world. Holy Week - Semana Santa in Portuguese - is observed throughout the country with processions and rituals similar to those of other Catholic countries, yet made unique by the specific context in which they happen.

In Ouro Preto people create colorful carpets with wood shavings, flour, coffee, flowers and other elements the night before Sunday for the procession to walk on.
