New Year Copacabana Brazil_afr0014.jpg


Baianas of the Umbanda religion celebrate New Year at Copacabana beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Umbanda religion worships Iemanjá as one of the seven orixás of the African Pantheon. She is the Queen of the Ocean, the patron deity of the fishermen and the survivors of shipwrecks, the feminine principle of creation and the spirit of moonlight.
