From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 24):
"Within Brazil itself, festivals are a dominant form of cultural expression with their roots at times only perfunctorily in religion ... the syncretism of Portuguese Roman Catholic and pagan rites, as well as the influences of the indigenous peoples and the African slaves brought to colonial Brazil, have led to a remarkable mix of holidays celebrated only in Brazil."—Adam Arenson ("The Role of the Nossa Senhora Aparecida Festival in Creating Brazilian American Community")
