CHRIST SEEN FROM THE CEMETERY

Also from São João Batista cemetery you can see the statue of Christ, the Redeemer. This is a cemetery from the mid-19th century with very beautiful funerary art and where many Brazilian celebrities are interred. But the Brazilians, with their hedonistic way of life, don't have the habit of visiting cemeteries, except on the 1st November, The Day of the Dead (Finados), when our cemeteries become full of life!
