Gira for the Orixá Xangô in the Forest in Redwood Glen at Joaquim Miller Park

A Gira is a celebration of life and nature. Through singing and dancing we invite the divine illuiminated spirits to arrive to heal, cleanse, give counsel and to teach about the spiritual life. Xangô is the Orixá of justice. Xangô is the force and majesty of the mountains and thunder.

Salve Xangô! Kaô Kabecilê! Xangô é Rei!

GIRA FOR SAO COSME E SAO DAMIAO AND THE BOIADEIROS IN THE FOREST 
Gira for São Cosme e São Damião and the Boiadeiros in the Forest at Redwood Glen in Joaquim Miller Park

This Gira is a celebration in honor of the Saints Cosme and Damião and the Boiadeiros

Saints Cosme and Damião

Saints Cosme and Damião were two twin brothers who were both doctors by profession. They were some of the first Christians in areas of Turkey and Syria. They were celebrated physicians and offered their medical services free of charge. Many people were healed by their work and many people became christians inspired by their work of charity. Despite being persecuted for their Christian faith they never abandoned their belief and because of this they were beheaded in 303 AD.

As part of their practice they gave sweets to sick children to lift their spirits. In Brazil they are celebrated as the protectors of children and September is 27th is commemorated by giving bags of candy to children.

Saints Cosme and Damião were recognized as the Ibejis the sacred twin children of the tradition of Candomblé and are celebrated with the illuminated children spirits called Erês in both Umbanda and Candomblé.


Boiadeiros

The animals present at the birth of Christ became sanctified. The cow and the lamb were two of these animals that became holy in the presence of God. The boiadeiros in their lives on the earth worked herding and caring for these sacred animals, the cow and the lamb. In the process of being in close contact with these sacred animals they also became sanctified. Their souls were purified. They are now the only other beings besides the Erês that can serve as the messenger of the Orixás. They bring with them tremendous energy of horses galloping across open fields, and the celebration of country life, close to the earth and beneath the starry skies. They work kicking up the dust and cleansing the terreiro of negative energy.


Please bring flowers of all colors. As well as lots of fruit and candy!!!

You may also bring Port Wine or hot Black Coffee (with no sugar) in a Thermos for the Pretos Velhos
