Sao Joao Feast in Goa
Reminiscent of Elizabeth jumping with joy on hearing the news of her sister, Mother Mary, carrying baby Jesus in her womb, men in Goa jump into lakes and ponds to the shouts of ‘Viva Sao Jao’. The festivals falls on 24th June this year, besides colourful floats that move through the streets, the vicinity of the St. Anthony’s Church comes alive with musicians and mimicry artists. In the evening, decorated floats are put in the lake amid joyful shouts of ‘Viva Sao Joao.’
