On the second Sunday in October, Para State celebrates the largest and greatest religious event in Brazil - The Cirio of Nazare, a long procession of faith, in which thousands of people follow the saint through the streets of Belem, in a manifestation that lasts around five hours for unity, emotion and devotion, with no distinction of social classes, to express the strongest devotion to the belief.
