A esquerda a igreja de São Francisco de Assis : na igreja estão os restos mortais de Mestre Ataíde (sepultura 94, no chão), nascido em Mariana. São do artista as pinturas da nave e da sacristia, além das três imagens da Paixão (tabernáculo, altar-mor e altar de Santa Isabel). Os púlpitos em pedra-sabão são atribuídos a Aleijadinho, que deixou clara sua influência nas sineiras e risco da fachada. Sua construção se estendeu de 1762 a 1794 e contou com a participação do mestre de obras José Pereira Arouca. A direita a igreja Nossa Senhora do Carmo : surgiu a partir de um pequeno templo erguido em 1759. Teve suas obras iniciadas em 1783, só concluídas no século seguinte. Na fachada o escudo possui três estrelas, representando os três grandes santos carmelitas: profeta Elias, a mística Teresa d'ávila e Simão Stock. Este último, um nobre que aderiu à ordem, aparece na pintura da nave. Recebe um escapulário com a missão de espalhar no ocidente a devoção à Virgem do Carmo. A igreja foi quase completamente destruída por um incêndio em janeiro de 1999, quando sua restauração total estava prestes a ser concluída. O teto, pintado pelo famoso mestre Francisco Xavier Carneiro, desabou. O altar-mor não foi consumido pelas chamas. A fachada, o telhado e as paredes internas foram recuperadas, minimizando a perda irreparável das pinturas.

Tejate is a traditional drink made from grinding toasted maize, cacao, flor de cacao, the seed of the mamey fruit, raw brown sugar and other ingredients into a paste. The paste is mixed with cool water and beaten by hand into a frothy, refreshing drink widely enjoyed in the valley of Oaxaca. Making tejate from scratch is labor intensive. Most people use a prepared mix, but Mariana, a Zapotec woman from the village of Santo Tomas Jalieza, always makes hers in the traditional manner. It is the best tejate I've had.
sometimes at work I am called Mariana ... accidentally my name is mixed with another co-worker's name ... but U know my name and U never do this to me ... almost never ! ... lol
I am very sensitive about that , because I love my first name ...
this is a main reason why I took this picture ...
have a nice weekend everyone :)

Understand
Mariana, originally known as Nossa Senhora do Carmo, came into existence with the discovery of gold along the Ribeirão Nossa Senhora do Carmo river in 1696. Known informally as the Primeira Cidade (First City), it is indeed a city of firsts: It was the first vila established in the state and soon became the first state capital, and a major center for the burgeoning gold trade. In 1745, the Portuguese king, Dom João V, renamed the city after his wife, Maria Ana D'Austria. Around the same time, the city became the seat of the first bishopric in the state and hence became an important religious center for the region. In response to the influx of people, streets and rectangular plazas were planned, making Mariana the first planned city in the state. These days, Mariana preserves many of the original colonial buildings and churches in such a thorough way that the traveller almost feels he has stepped back in time.
