Why are there two dates?
Because the festa is local. Rio de Janeiro’s is 2 January. Salvador’s, at Rio Vermelho, is 2 February. Praia Grande has used 8 December. Iemanjá is Yemoja, a Yoruba orixá, kept in Candomblé and Umbanda and also by people on the beach who are not initiates. Flowers and perfume go onto the water. What comes back is taken home. An offering on the sand is not a photo prop, and it is not yours to move.
The page runs from the Rio date to the Salvador date. A beach hotel is not a house of Candomblé.
