São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro.

"The feast o St.Sebastian blends Portuguese traditions,

 ancient folklore and Roman Catholic rituals

 with Afro-Brazilian rites.

 Ceremonies in churches and streets

 feature plenty of red coloring,

 the votive shade of the city's patron saint.

 In voodoo temple-yards,

 drums set the beat for chants  and dances

 in honor of Oxossi,

 voodoo king of the jungle.

  This date also marks the end

 of Twelfth Night revelries.

 The main event is an evening procession

 carrying the saint's statue from

 the Church of São Sebastião dos Capuchinhos

 in Tijuca to the Metropolitan Cathedral,

  for blessing at a Mass

 held by the Archbishop of Rio de Janeiro."
