Círio de Nazaré 2026: Procession runs along Boulevard Castilhos França

Re-Pa couple at Círio

The couple formed by Gabriel Monteiro, a Paysandu fan, and Verena Cunha, from Remo, participates in the Círio de Nazaré for the first time. The bicolor showed confidence in access to Series B, which will be decided this Sunday afternoon (11). The remista of the relationship said that “Nazinha will bless” the team to guarantee its stay in Series A.

Gratitude for winning a house

Claudete Oliveira, 49 years old, made a hat with a miriti house (an item from the buriti palm tree and used for crafts) as a symbol of the house she acquired

"It was the realization of a big dream. I signed up for 'Minha Casa, Minha Vida' 20 years ago and was included. I came here to thank Our Lady of Nazaré, as I always put myself forward to intercede", he explained.

The mass ends at the Sé Cathedral and the final preparations and tributes are made before placing the image of Our Lady of Nazaré in the Berlinda for the start of the procession.

Angel Cars

The Círio is also accompanied by children in the so-called Carros dos Anjos. In total, there are 200 children in four cars spread throughout the procession.

The children, registered in advance by their guardians, walk through the Candle dressed as angels in gratitude for the graces achieved.

Overcoming cancer

Kauan Moraes, 21, follows the procession on his knees for the second year in a row, carrying a sign with the phrase “Miracle alive, cancer defeated”. In 2024, he was diagnosed with malignant cancer in the liver region.

"I was pronounced dead in one of the ICUs. I was going to go into palliative work and hemodialysis. When I found out about this, I became attached to Our Lady of Nazareth and, the next day, I didn't need hemodialysis, my kidneys started working again and I went back to the room. Then, I started chemotherapy treatment for a year, a very painful year, but I never lost faith in Our Lady. I promised that, if I left that moment, I would fulfill the most painful promise and spread my testimony.”

Assembly of God present at the Círio de Nazaré

Zildomar Campelo, pastor of the Assembly of God, talks about the action carried out during the Círio. Through the “Eu+You=Jesus” action, in its 15th edition, the evangelical church distributes breakfast, water and hugs to the faithful in the procession.

Mass of the Círio

Presided over by the Metropolitan Archbishop of Belém, Dom Júlio Akamine, the mass lasts approximately one hour. At 7am, the procession heads towards the Basilica of Nazareth, expected to last six hours.
