Say goodbye stylish andelegant to the old year on the sand of the world famous Copacabana beach inRio. In the New Year unfolds here is the huge beach party in the world, in 2013
it involved a record number - 2.3 million people. Grandiose fireworks,
liberating tradition and unmatched atmosphere of this placeReveylon makes one
of the most impressive ways to mark "Ano Novo."
Reveylon borrows its name from
the French, the word means an African religion and local superstitions that
still continue to evolve. Reveylon more than other Brazilian festivals of mixed
religion, traditions, superstitions and music.
Before the clock struck
twelve, the festival develops in a quiet family circle, according to the custom
of all the Latin American countries. Family and friends gather for food and
drink, because food expresses love in the southern part of the planet. And if
we talk about food, it's the night of pork, chicken on the table cannot be.
Because chickens when they eat, always moving back, never move forward, and all
thoughts of the first day of the new year are directed forward, the past
remains in the old year.
Groups and teams are starting
to heat up samba on Atlantic Avenue at eight o'clock already. The most iconic
part of the festival - white clothes all participants. This dresskod means
purity, peace and renewal during the emergence Lehmann, the goddess of the sea.
With high hopes for the new year and glorifying the past year, all participants
wear white. Add a little red for romance, even a little green for health, a
pair of yellow buds for wealth and a drop of blue, to the world, no detail will
not go unnoticed immortal gods. Stay away from black; it symbolizes the failure
and a bad taste in this superstitious night.
When you hear the first volley
salute - the feast began. Reveylon heavyweight, not only because of the large
number of people, but because of the huge amount of fireworks exploding over a
20-minute show. This is one of the most powerful in the world of fireworks,
fireworks cannons lined up along the beach, so that each can stand in the front
row of the fiery performances. If you cannot stand the crowd, you can visit one
of the more elegant (and expensive) parties in the building adjacent to the
beach.
Reveylona customs rooted in
the beliefs of African religion Candomble. Goddess Lehmann, according to this
tradition, the ruler and protector of the sea, and when you're on the beach,
Lemania your queen. Pay homage white clothing, offering sea of white flowers, candles, rice and spices, all of which can
be purchased from local enterprising merchants. Legend says that prayer
immortal can be sent into the sea on a small raft when the raft out to sea -
Lemania hast taken the gift, if returned - expect more luck in the coming year.
Seven waves, jumping seven,
seven wishes
This is a favorite ritual
Reveylona, in honor of Her Majesty Lehmann. When the fireworks ended,
follow people to the sea. Jump over 7 waves and guessing one wish in each wave
of seven. Do not look back, what would Lemania was not angry. Rio and the whole
