What is Festa Junina?
You may have heard the brazilian cc's talking about throwing a festa junina in the server, but what is it exactly?
Festa Junina translates to June's Party, and its origins go back to pagan midsummer and harvest celebrations. Time went on and it mixed with catholic beliefs, especially those centered around Saint Anthony, Saint Peter, and Saint John the Baptist (which is why it is also known as São João).
The tradition was brought to Brazil with colonization. It's no longer a summer fest since it's winter, but you can still see the influence (maybe the bonfires are part of it).
Nowadays, Festa Junina is known for the traditional square dancing and the food — seriously, the food is amazing (look up pamonha, cural, canjica, pé-de-moleque, bolo de fubá, cuzcuz nordestino... damn I'm hungry)! Most of it is made with corn or peanuts. Mulled wine is also a must! People dress in a "country" fashion, with straw hats, puffy dresses, and drawn freckles and mustaches. Everything is VERY colorful.
School kids will put on shows (known as quadrilhas), which usually include a "wedding" comedy sketch. In my high school, the twist was that the best man was in love with the groom. It was very dramatic. I loved it.
Here are some pictures and traditional songs! I wish we could get a mod with the foods to the server or something, but just the skins and decorations will already be so much fun!

Warnings: nada
Tumblr media
While it seemed that each and every person I the busy city of Barcelona was asleep on this warm Summer's evening, that was far from the case. Not because of the people awake to get ready for their jobs, or the people on the metro, but because of a tiny newborn baby, screaming down an entire house. Y/n put her hands over her eyes and she listened to her newborn son crying and it didn't seem that he was going to quieten down anytime soon either. "It's too early." She mumbled to herself. Y/n felt the bed move beside her to see João, her boyfriend, sit up and toss their duvet sheet off himself. "Oh no, João. I'll go. You have to training tomorrow-"
"You go back to sleep. I'll take care of him, don't worry." João said, moving the hair from his girlfriend's face and pressing a gentle kiss onto her forehead, before leaving the room and heading into the nursery. He opened the door and looked straight to the crib where his son, Paulo lay crying. "Bom dia, homenzinho." He whispered, leaning over the crib to pick him up. He rocked the child in his arms, shushing and humming, mixed with some reassuring 'tudo bem' the odd time. "Let's go get you some breakfast, homenzinho." João held the baby against his chest and placed a blanket over him to keep Paulo warm.
The pair headed downstairs carefully and into the kitchen to grab some milk. The crying had calmed down to the occasional cough or usual baby noise. João heated the bottle and shook it before he checked if it was cool enough and fed Paulo. João's head fell back in relief to finally have the baby quiet. "Take you time." He chuckled as Paulo drank the bottle quickly, having to stop to take a breath. "I'll stay with you as long as you need me to, homenzinho." He whispered. "I always will."

Sapphics celebrating “Festa Junina” from Brazil.
“Festa Junina” is a popular celebration that takes place in June and is strongly related to indigenous culture. Traditionally, this festival has its origins in the pagan harvest festivals, which were held by European peoples in honor of the fertility gods and the summer solstice.
In the Brazilian context, the June festival also incorporated elements of indigenous traditions, such as the indigenous new year and the corn harvest. For indigenous peoples, the period of June is marked by renewal rituals and thanks to the deities for the abundance of the harvest. Corn, a basic and sacred food for many indigenous ethnic groups, is a central element in this celebration, symbolizing abundance and connection with nature.
During the June festivities, it is common to find typical foods based on corn, such as pamonha, hominy and popcorn, as well as games, folk dances, bonfires and colorful decorations. The mix between European and indigenous traditions results in a festivity rich in cultural diversity, representing the importance of valuing and preserving the country's historical roots.
Thus, the Festa Junina becomes an opportunity to celebrate union, gratitude and respect for nature, bringing with it the influence of indigenous inspirations and highlighting the cultural plurality of Brazil.

Santos para conhecer na Semana Santa:
São João
Tumblr media
o evangelista e também escritor do livro de apocalipse e mais 3 cartas.
Ver São João é perceber a afetividade de Jesus, que tinha ele como um de seus melhores amigos, e amigo confidente a ponto de permitir que João deitasse sua cabeça em seu peito durante a Santa ceia.
João tinha identidade firmada a ponto de escrever sobre si mesmo que era o discípulo mais amado de Jesus. Foi com João que Jesus viveu muitos momentos únicos em sua história.
No amor, João era forte, pois foi o único dos discípulos que conseguiu ficar com Jesus e ir com Ele até os pés da Cruz. E foi a Maria que Jesus entregou João, e na pessoa dele todos nós.
Estar com São João, na Semana Santa, é pedir a graça de amar Jesus em todos os seus passos e querer viver em profunda intimidade com o Mestre.
São João, rogai por nós 🙏🏽
Obs 1: São João foi o único apóstolo que não morreu como mártir
Obs 2: não é esse São João que comemoramos junho kk
