Overview
- The PRF‑escorted 52.3 km road traslado traversed Belém, Ananindeua and Marituba, with police estimating the Friday/Saturday stages could involve more than 1.5 million people along the route.
- Following the road stages, the image travels on a Navy vessel in the Romaria Fluvial to central Belém before a moto romaria leads it to Colégio Gentil Bittencourt.
- Saturday night’s Trasladação and the Sunday morning Círio are scheduled to draw the largest crowds among the 14 official processions.
- The Basílica de Nazaré has reopened after its first full restoration in more than a century, with centenary artworks and the main altar housing the original image preserved.
- Organizers say COP30 visitors in Belém are likely to boost turnout, and authorities report reinforced security and health support, including thousands of agents and a SUS national health team already deployed.
