From #Diamantina during #FestasJuninas, when #Brasil celebrates Saints John the Baptist (June 24th), Anthony (June 13th) and Peter (June 29th). Some say the Catholic Church recognized similar pagan days of celebration to adapt/adopt into the saints’ days of celebration. #travel #SouthAmerica #Brazil

The long history of #OuroPreto in #MinasGerais, #Brasil is that it is/was a mining town, going back to the gold days of the 17th century. We stopped in for a night, passing through what we learned is a university town today with Baroque-style churches. #travel #SouthAmerica #Brazil #poetry
