Senhor do Bonfim Fitas
.
I’m guessing the title of this post has most folks going, “?????” Let me explain. One of the wonderful things about blogging is all the people you meet and new things you learn.  I received this envelope from Australia.
Inside, were all these beautiful Senhor do Bonfim fitas (Lord of the Good End ribbons).Â
I received these ribbons from Georgia Little Pea’s mom (The Typist). Georgia and The Typist write the blog Little Dogs On Long Leashes.  The Typist is a capoeirista. Capoeira is a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of dance and music. The Typist visited Brazil and while there, went to Igreja de Nosso Senhor do Bonfim in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil.
The ribbons have “Lembrança do Senhor do Bonfim da Bahia” printed on them which roughly translates to In Remembrance of the Savior of Bahia.
The ribbons’ primary function is to petition for future miracles. To learn more about the church and the history behind these ribbons, The Typist recommends this post from Travelvice Travelogue. It is well worth reading…very interesting. You can read about The Typist’s visit to Igreja de Nosso Senhor do Bonfim here.
Thank you, Georgia and The Typist. I love them. Here’s to wishes and miracles.

Oh, how cool that you got something from Georgia and The Typist! Bunny wants to know if Casper, Nikki and Freedom thought it smelled good when it got there.
It did, Bunny! You know what fun adventures Georgia gets up to.
Hi Lori, have been away from blogging last week and just saw this. Thank you for writing about your fitas 🙂 I hope Casper, Nikki and Freedom are sporting some and that no one calls them pansies for doing so. (I sent some to a blogger in Australia who tied them onto her rough and tumble herding dogs and some neighbour called them that LOL.) May all your wishes come true! HUGS X
Thank you again for thinking of me. I love the ribbons, particularly learning about the history behind them.
How cool is that that they sent you those ribbons! I am all one for miracles right now. 🙂
