Basilica and Cathedral of Joao Pessoa
Brazil

   A church dedicated to Our Lady of the Snows was built at an elevation by the early settlers of Paraíba in 1586. It was a simple building, rammed earth, which was rebuilt in the early seventeenth century. In 1639, a Dutch columnist, Elias Herckmans, refers to her as yet unfinished in its description of the Captaincy General of Paraíba. The works and reforms followed throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, always in the midst of economic difficulties.

   In 1881 the church began to be rebuilt for the last time, winning the manner in which currently has an eclectic style, thanks to the impetus of Father Francisco de Paula Melo Cavalcante. The consecration took place on August 1, 1894 now holding the title of Cathedral, once the Diocese of Paraíba had been created months before, on March 04, established the Church of Our Lady of the Snows.

More About Brazil

Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China. These four were labeled the world's fastest developing large economies in the year 2001.Brazil is known for three things: amazingly beautiful women, carnival, and Pele -- King of Football, Athlete of the Century, football ambassador of the world and a declared national treasure.Brazillians can tell foreigners a mile away, by the way their hips move. Samba is built into the soul of brazil and carnival is when it bursts out into twenty-four hour undying explosions of sound on every street.This picture of mask diving at the Taipus reefs makes me shed hot and salty tears all over my calendar, which is set on "January" right now.Text by Steve Smith.
