Saint Francis festival in Canindé

The Saint Francis festival takes place every year from October 7th to October 17th in Canindé, Ceará. I went there with my grandmother and my aunt in 2025. Many people make promises to Saint Francis and fulfill them during the festivities; you can make promises with ribbons, making a wish with each knot tied. It is a very important celebration for Catholics in my country. One very famous tourist attraction is the Statue of Saint Francis, which also draws many faithful who come to make and fulfill promises, as well as to pray. During my visit to Canindé, I went to the zoo and the museum! The museum was definitely my favorite part.
