Approximately eight hundred Brazilians, Portuguese, and other Catholics gathered outside St James Church in Newark NJ on a mild Sunday morning in Oct 2013. They convened for a procession, Mass, and festival to celebrate the Virgin Mary in her advocation of Our Lady of Aparecida, the patroness of Brazil. Her clay statue had appeared in 1717 to river fishermen in Aparecida, a town in the state of Sao Paulo, which became a major pilgrimage site. During the procession through a neighborhood called the Ironbound, in the center of Newark's Lusophone community, the small replica statue of the Virgin Mary, with a dark blue robe and gold crown, was carried next to a tall cream-colored statue of Mary as Our Lady of Fatima, the patroness of Portugal, who is also venerated in Brazil. Here, Gidal explains three main points about music, religion, group dynamics, and transnationalism in this setting.
