Celebrating the Festa de Yemanjá in Colômbia



A note and some pictures from Fabricio in Colombia:

Save February 2nd, Day to Celebrate Yemanjá, everyone goes to the beach to offers gifts to the Queen of the Sea.

Hello all! Even though we are far from the sea and in the cold, we remember the Festa de Yemanjá, here in Bogotá and we celebrate the Festa de Yemanjá, Saturday of Carnival and the day of the Virgin of Candelária, the black virgin of Colômbia.

We presented an afternoon of cultural activities with a Capoeira roda, a photograohpy exhibit, a presentation of Tambor de Criola, and an outside audiovisual presentation.

Abraços,

Fabrício
