Later, when he finds himself alone, he follows his family's dreams, continuing to work in the factory and building a world of dreams and solidarity. With Clara's help, they both realize that they need to create what we now call "Christmas", so that it is never forgotten and is repeated every year by families. this is how the one we know today as Santa Claus is born.

Musical procession through the streets of each town – 9:00 p.m. | Start of the show – 9:30 p.m. In a village court, Dona Marta demands justice: someone broke into her daughter Eva’s room during the night and smashed her favorite jug. Adão, the authoritarian and corrupt judge, prepares to settle the case for his own benefit, but as luck would have it, on that very day he receives a visit from an inspector from the city. Eva refuses to tell the truth, and suspicion falls on her fiancé. For Dona Brígida, who never misses a thing, the Devil is involved in the matter. After all, who broke Dona Marta’s jug? Text: h.v.
