Captain Theod\u00f3zio Rodrigues de Faria had promised that if he survived the storm he faced in the bay in 1745, he would take a copy to Brazil to thank God for saving him and his crew. This first ex-voto was installed in a chapel that was later replaced by the present-day church. The tradition of ex-votos continues today, with a dedicated room where the faithful leave a photo or reproduction of the part of their body that is ill, in order to ask God for healing. As a souvenir, they leave with small multicoloured ribbons supposed to bring good luck: the fitas de Bonfim. The Afro-Brazilian population of Salvador equates Nosso Senhor do Bonfim with Oxala, one of the Orixa often compared to Christ, son of the supreme god of Candombl\u00e9: Olorum. Despite initial opposition from the Church, a significant cult has grown up around this representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-8\" data-rl_title=\"Les fitas de Bonfim, sont accroch\u00e9s sur les grilles du parvis des \u00e9glises de Salvador.\" data-rl_caption=\"Les fitas de Bonfim, sont accroch\u00e9s sur les grilles du parvis des \u00e9glises de Salvador.\" title=\"The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador&#039;s churches.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1141\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg\" alt=\"The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador&#039;s churches.\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015.jpg 576w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-8_Postel_Br\u00e9sil_ao\u00fbt-2015-450x600.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><br><em>The fitas de Bonfim hang on the railings in front of Salvador's churches.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-se-loger\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Se_loger\"><\/span>Accommodation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-9\" data-rl_title=\"Photo 9_R\u00e9ception villa Bahia\" data-rl_caption=\"Hotel VILLA BAHIA Largo do Cruzeiro de Sao Francisco, n. 16-18 PELOURINHO - SALVADOR - BAHIA BRESIL La Reception de l&#039;hotel\" title=\"Photo 9_Reception Bahia villa\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1016\" height=\"768\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1142\" src=\"http:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-768x581.jpg 768w, https:\/\/universvoyage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Photo-9_R\u00e9ception-villa-Bahia-600x454.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1016px) 100vw, 1016px\" \/><\/a><br><em><strong>H\u00f4tel VILLA BAHIA<\/strong><br>Largo do Cruzeiro de Sao Francisco, n. 16-18<br>PELOURINHO - SALVADOR - BAHIA<br>BRAZIL<br><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your stay, we offer you the unique setting of Villa Bahia, a charming hotel in the heart of Pelourinho, made up of two 17th-century mansions.
