Truly imformative, I did find it easy to draw parallels with Xtianity, Santeria and possibly voodoo. A great place to visit, Brazil has a great deal of history. Thanks for bringing this fascinating piece.
You're welcome! I thought that it was really interesting as well. I'm really hoping to visit Brazil sometime soon,as I too am fascinated by the rich cultural history that is there. Indian, European, Japanese, etc. What a fascinating place, and beautiful too!
