Party Recap

Hi There! This time we ( Mães Festeiras RJ) will show you the Festa Junina we did in 07/26/2015 on the Sítio Você & Eu.

Something more about these festivities:
“The Festa Junina are festivities that take place in June in Brazil and are extremely popular throughout the country and among all social classes. Originally called joanina from São João, they celebrate the Catholic Saints:
Santo Antônio – Saint Anthony – 13th June
São João – Saint John – 24th June
São Pedro – Saint Peter – 29th June
The church fair, usually with a charity bazaar, is called a quermesse. The festivities also celebrate rural life and feature typical dress, food and dance. They usually take place in a large open space outdoors called an arraial and people dress up as farmers, or country folk (caipira) with straw hats and checked shirts or dresses. São João celebrates marriage, so couples dance a kind of square dance called a quadrilha which features a mock wedding with the bride and groom. June is the time of the corn harvest, so special dishes are prepared made with corn. Canjica is made from grated corn and coconut, boiled with water, milk, sugar and cinnamon. Pamonha is a sweet concoction of corn paste which is rolled and baked in fresh cornhusks. Pinhão, an edible pine seed is also very popular. A typical drink is the quentão. As the name suggests, this is a hot alcoholic drink with ginger and usually cachaça – a kind of rum made from sugar cane and commonly known as pinga. Bonfires and firework displays are also important features of these colourful two-week celebrations. “ Teclasap
It was formerly a party made by Catholic churches, but the tradition was extended families that make Jerk in their homes inviting family and friends to celebrate the date. So this is ours 
It was a memorable day that deserves to be immortalized on this blog so inspiring!
I hope you enjoy it as much as you did with the another ones and also selected this one as a party feature on Cacth my party!
Kisses a lot
Susan Macieira
