In Aparecida do Norte, São Paulo, devotion to Saint Benedict has been constant since 1828. Folk groups from various regions of the country sing and dance, while the King, Queen, and their vassals, carrying the image of Saint Benedict, walk through the streets toward the church. The city is covered with rose petals and confetti. At night, after the solemn mass, a large fireworks display lights up the city.
