Pentecost in Brazil: Festa do Divino
In Brazil, Festa do Divino is a days-long celebration with both religious and cultural elements.
Sunday is Pentecost, the feast on which the Church recalls the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles 50 days after Easter.
Traditional celebrations for the feast day include novenas to the Holy Spirit, the release of doves, and the famous shower of rose petals in the Pantheon in Rome.
