Among the many blessings the Church provides is a special blessing for cars. It is typically done by a priest or deacon and invokes God’s special care over your vehicle.
In Copacabana, Brazil, once blessings have been received from both a Catholic priest and an Aymara yatiri (witch doctor), car owners ceremoniously splash a few pints of beer on their vehicle. This unusual practice is largely done for celebration, although some believe it helps quench the thirst of Pachamama as well.
You might not want to splash anything on your car, however, you will enjoy food trucks, raffle prizes, family activities and music all day long.
All proceeds benefit Council #1672 and their charities.
