Dia di Nha Santa
The feast of Nossa Senhora das Dores, celebrated especially on Brava and Fogo. Processions through flower-decorated streets, women singing hymns in Kriolu, and the church bells ringing across valleys that carry sound like amplifiers. On Brava, this is the biggest religious celebration of the year and the diaspora comes home for it.
