Juazeiro do Norte, Religious pilgrimage center in Ceará, Brazil
Located at the foot of Chapada do Araripe plateau, this northeastern Brazilian city sits at an elevation of 350 meters in the semiarid sertão region.
The municipality established in 1911 by Padre Cícero Romão Batista evolved from a district of Crato into the second largest city in Ceará state.
The November pilgrimage brings thousands of followers from across Brazil to honor the memory of Padre Cícero through religious ceremonies and processions.
The Orlando Bezerra de Menezes Airport and Cariri Metro rail system connect Juazeiro do Norte with neighboring cities and the state capital Fortaleza.
The city maintains industries in sugar milling, cotton processing, leather manufacturing, and lumber production while serving as a regional agricultural trade center.
