Pentecost in Divinopolis

 11 May 2010

Marcus Vinicius at the Divinopolis Pentecost Festival, 2010

In some parts of Brazil, in particular in the Nordeste region and in Paraty (RJ), the festival of Pentecost corresponds to the popular festival of the Divine Holy Spirit which lasts for several days.

For their Pentecost celebration in Divinopolis, the Chemin Neuf Community arranged for one of its members, Marcus Vinicius, who is very famous as a Christian rock musician, to give a performance.

This event was organised by the Casa Familia Santuario de Vida, with whom we are united in praise and in prayer.
You can visit their photograph album which is linked to our newsletter of 18 February "Visit to Divinopolis" There you will be able to see pictures of this place, and also the plans for a project for the construction of a Centre for Training and Retreats and for a Community House
