Questioned by the cult that still dedicates a majority of Brazilians to the Catholic religion , I linger through this series, in the Holy Week and the various activities related to it . Legacy of Portuguese colonization , Catholicism was the official religion of the Brazilian State until the promulgation of the Republican Constitution of 1891 which established the secular state . Unlike other countries such as Canada , modernity and the past decades have had an unexpected impact in Brazil, in that they are not accompanied by a de-Christianization . In the province of Goias particular, semana santa is a festive period that Brazilians celebrate in style , with various masses and processions. Colorful overview of a week flavor of faith and prayer.
