Jacob ArbetinosSpyros Kiourkos

FOOD• Brazil is a large country with a mix of people

from many parts of the world, so they celebrate Christmas in many different ways. One of them is eating turkey, vegetables and fruits but for the poor, chicken and rice will be their special feast.

PRESENTS

• Sadly not all children in Brazil will receive gifts. Local charities gather donations from those who can afford to give but it is never enough for all the children.

DANCE AND SONGS

• Folk dance and songs are quite common in Brazil. The celebrations can go on till January 6th which is regarded as the “Three Kings Day”. It is named so because it is believed that, on this day, the three wise men visited Jesus to bring him gifts.
