Festival of the Good Death Celebrated in Bahia

CACHOEIRA, BRAZIL - AUGUST 14: Members of the Sisterhood of the Good Death look on after marching in a procession during the Festival of the Good Death on August 14, 2014 in Cachoeira, Brazil. The Afro-Brazilian sisterhood is made up of female descendants of slaves, all age 50 and over, and honors both Catholic traditions and Afro-Brazilian Candomble religious rites. The sisterhood is believed to be the oldest organization for women of African descent in the Americas. The state of Bahia received at least 1.2 million slaves from Africa and remains the most African of Brazilian states, where blacks make up around 80 percent of the population.
