As the name already kind of gives away (to the Portuguese speaking people among us), a whole month, June, full of festivities. There are various holidays taking place to celebrate the saints, mainly S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o (John the Baptist) on June 24<sup>th<\/sup> (responsible for Jesus Christ\u2019s baptism), but also Santo Antonio (Anthony the Great) and S\u00e3o Pedro (Saint Pedro) which gives the Brazilians a great reason to throw massive parties the whole month to honour those.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">But what is the origin?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/IMG_7522-3-1.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Celebrated by Catholics since the Middle Ages, it has been brought to Brazil during the colonization process. In these times, where people believing in other religions, like Candombl\u00e9 (afro-Brazilian religion widely practiced in Brazil), where forced to pray for catholic saints, syncretism emerges as a solution to the problem. The Orix\u00e1s (Gods in Candombl\u00e9): Ogum, Xang\u00f4 and Ox\u00f3ssi are equated to the Santo Antonio, S\u00e3o Pedro and S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o, which allows the Festa Junina to honour both religions and their gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Every neighbourhood has a separate party (usually on different days), which enables you to enjoy pretty much every single one of them.&nbsp;A thing that cannot be lacking at any of them though, are the colourful festoons and the typical music, Forr\u00f3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1539\" src=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2561-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1541\" src=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/etivpontodecultura.org.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/APC_2657-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">All factors of this festivity make the month June super special, like the super sweet alcoholic drinks: Cacha\u00e7a with banana, all sorts of sugary Liquors and of course Nevada (slushy with vodka, condensed milk, and syrups); bonfires on the streets on every corner and not to forget all the typical Bahian\/Brazilian food options. And in the focus: Corn. Milho assado (grilled corn), Bolo de milho (Corncake), pipoca (Popcorn) and my personal favourite, Munguz\u00e1: A sweet dish made out of cooked corn with coconut milk and grated coconut. Just delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Due to this amazing combination of tradition, dance, music and typical food, this festivity has for sure been one of my favourites here in Brazil!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>by Emilie Merta<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"is-flex-container columns-3
