One of the most import liturgical celebrations of Brazilian faith takes place in the month of August in the City of Cachoeira, located near all Saint’s Bay. During the Boa Morte or Good Death Festival, women of African descent of at least 50 years of age participate in a procession through city streets dressed as true queens, in devotion to the Good Death, or Dormitio Virginis, as the Assumption of the Virgin Mary to heaven is known.
