our lady of the rosary of black people印象
-
Outside are hanging too many colorful Bahian ribbons and inside one can see several statues of black saints... Nice interior and worth to visit the church because of its history.
-
The paintings in the ceiling are amazing and in the outside there are thousands of "Senhor do Bonfim" bracelets, hanging in the bars - worths the visit and a good picture.
-
You have to visit this church during mass because the presence of the people and the music is what makes this place worth a visit. African culture mixed with catholic costumes.
-
Great historical interest in the historical center of Salvador. It shows the contrast between the Portuguese "slave holder" churches and the simple beauty of the oppressed people.
-
If you like the sung masses of Harlem or New Orleans, go for it! Masses are celebrated on Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights and it is a really unusual experience (unless you are a regular of black churches in the US!)
-
The exterior of the building is very special with all the Bahian ribbons attached to the fence. The church itself includes a number of statues of saints and holds a lot of history but a lot of it falls flat if you do not attend a service because the exceptional nature of the place (namely, its african heritage) gets a bit lost otherwise.Our guidebook was mentioning a slave graveyard and we felt it was appropriate to go pay our respect. To our surprise (but after all very logically), it is quite small and very sober. This is fitting in context but it is helpful to know what to expect.

Most exuberant, energetic Catholic celebration of Mass that you will ever experience. The congregation is local but tourists are welcomed. If you are in the Pelourinho and hear drums and song, it is not necessarily a samba band. Check out the church on the right at the bottom of the Pelo.
-
Located in the Pelourinho, this church is one of the many in the area, definitely not the most attractive, but for Christians of whiter colour -like we are- it is quite an attraction. Having been the slaves' church, saints are rendered in black,well.... why not !
-
The simpleness of the church and the messages on the boards outside which were very deep and meaningful to peoples of colour. Too often their situation and feelings are ignored by others.
-
Beautiful church. But, be sure to go during an evening mass (on Tuesdays i think?). The music and the singing is stunning!
