Although it rained in the morning, It turned bright and sunny at noon. I took a bus ride and explored my way to the Bonfim Church.
The Bonfim Church was built in 1745 and is one of the most popular sites for religious pilgrimage in the country. People come from throughout Brazil to pray for jobs or cures, or to give thanks for miracles attributed to Our Lord.
The church was built by black slaves, hence the predominance of black saints on display.
There is a Miracle Room which is filled with photographs of those who have reached a state of grace, and plaster casts of limbs or organs belonging to devotes cured through divine intervention.
There are many colourful ribbons for sale printed with the words Lembrança do Snor do Bonfim da Bahia (Souvenir of Our Lord of Good Ending of Bahia).
