STORYLINE:
Brazilians gathered in Rio de Janeiro on Thursday as they celebrated St. George's Day with a mix of samba, Capoeira and Afro-Brazilian traditions.
Many visited St. George's church to pay respects to the saint and thank him for blessings or ask for help.
The devotion to the saint is very strong in the city where it rivals in popularity with the city's official patron, St. Sebastian.
St. George is celebrated by both Catholics and Afro-Brazilian religions.
The saint arrived in Brazil with Portuguese colonialists, and was embraced by African slaves.
The saint represents "ogum", an entity of the Candomble and Umbanda worshippers who believe it gives them strength and protection against all evil.
