The Folia de Reis, or the Festival of Kings, is a Catholic holiday recognized in Brazil that occurs between Christmas and Epiphany. During the Festival of Kings, participants travel from place to place asking for alms in honor of the three kings who traveled to witness the birth of Christ. Telma Morais paints this composition in her characteristic style, depicting three kings accompanied by musicians. Overhead, a golden shooting star guides their way. Titled Folia de Reis na Campininha in Portuguese.
