Pedra de Santo Antônio, Rock formation in Fagundes, Brazil.
The Pedra de Santo Antônio rises from the Serra do Bodopitá mountains, displaying large granite formations that dominate the surrounding landscape.
During the 19th century, escaped slaves discovered a statue of Saint Anthony in a rock crevice, which later repeatedly vanished from Fagundes church.
Local tradition states that walking three times under the rock formation leads to marriage within the following year, making it a destination for single individuals.
Visitors reach the formation by following BR-230 highway toward João Pessoa, then taking a 20-kilometer paved road plus 3 kilometers to the rock site.
In this municipality, approximately 30 percent of male residents carry the name Antonio, reflecting the deep connection between the community and this religious site.
