First of all, a lot of Brazilians believes in Iemanjá - the queen of the sea - and because of that many people leave a rose in the sea. There is a belief that when you offer to Iemanjá a rose, she'll take all your problems to the deep of the sea and they will return as waves.Primeiramente, muitos brasileiros acreditam na Iemanjá - a rainha do mar - e por isso muitas pessoas deixam rosas no mar. Existe uma crença que quando você oferece a Iemanjá uma rosa, ela vai levar todos os seus problemas para o fundo do mar e eles retornaram como ondas.
Furthermore, what is still common is jumping seven waves. According to superstition, when seven waves are jumped Iemanjá is invoked, and she'll help to overcome the future problems.Além disso, segundo a supertição, quando sete ondas são puladas Iemanjá é invocada e ela irá ajudar a passar por cima de todos os problemas futuros.
Another interesting tradition and superstition are connected to the color of the clothes. What is really common in Brazil is to wear white clothes on New Year's Eve. According to tradition, wearing white clothes will bring peace. Because of that many stores take advantage to sell white clothes.Outra tradição e supertição interessante está ligada a cor das roupas. O que é muito comum no Brasil é usar roupas brancas no ano novo. De acordo com a tradição, usar roupas brancas irá trazer paz. Por isso, muitas lojas aproveitam esse momento para vender roupas brancas.
Besides white, many Brazilians use to wear red and yellow clothes because they believe that that colors will bring love and money.Além de branco, muitos brasileiros costumam vestir roupas vermelhas e amarelas pois acreditam que essas cores irão trazer amor e dinheiro.
