Overview
- João Pessoa activated a special traffic scheme around five major cemeteries with more than 90 mobility agents, reinforced bus lines and targeted roadblocks to keep flows steady.
- Campina Grande increased the bus fleet by 30% from 5:00 to 20:00, projected roughly 85,000 visitors, set interdictions near key cemeteries and deployed municipal guards with state police.
- Cemeteries administered by Campina Grande and João Pessoa operate from 6:00 to 18:00, with mass schedules distributed throughout the day to handle peak visitation.
- In Rio, Cemitério da Penitência marked its 150th year with an 8:00 Mass by Cardinal Dom Orani Tempesta, a white‑balloon peace tribute, a new memorial garden and a youth orchestra performance, expecting about 10,000 visitors.
- At Rio’s São Francisco Xavier, municipal health teams provided flu and MMR vaccinations along with blood pressure and glucose checks during the day’s religious program.
