PARATY, BRAZIL - APRIL 18: Onlookers watch as worshipers march while carrying bamboo torches during the traditional 'Procissao do Fogareu' (Procession of the Torches) through the historic center of town during Semana Santa (Holy Week) festivities on April 18, 2014 in Paraty, Brazil. Holy Week marks the last week of Lent and the beginning of Easter celebrations for Catholics. Brazil holds more Catholics than any other country. Paraty was built as a Portuguese colonial town shortly after Portugal colonized Brazil in 1500. Paraty flourished during the 18th Century as the main port to ship Brazilian gold to Portugal. The town center is well preserved and the cobblestone streets remain closed to automobiles. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)
