Terno dos Reis (Day of the Kings) festivals are celebrated annually during the Christmas season. The January 6th feast commemorates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem bearing gifts for the Christ child. Brazilian celebrations include processions in which community members dress in costumes, dance, play music, and carry banners. This Terno procession took place on December 15, 1997 at the Lapinha Church to mark the opening of Padre Pinto's art exhibit.
