The Catholic faith practiced in Brazil is full of popular festivities rooted in centuries-old Portuguese traditions, but also heavily influenced by African and Native Brazilian usage. Popular traditions include pilgrimages to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida ("Nossa Senhora Aparecida"), the patron saint of Brazil, and religious festivals like the ""Círio de Nazaré"" in Belém and the ""Festa do Divino"" in many cities of Central Brazil. Areas that received many European immigrants in the last century, specially Italian and German, have Catholic traditions closer to that practiced in Europe.
