Story: 

Senhor do Bonfim wrist ribbons can be found all throughout latin america. Known as fitas in northern brazil, these ribbons are used as good luck wishing ribbons. Brazils first capital, Salvador, has a rich history of distributing these fitas over the past 200 years. the original fita, created in 1809, was known as the “measure of bonfim.” Measuring 47 centimeters, the bracelets equaled the length of the right arm of a statue of Christ found at the high altar of the Senhor do Bonfim church. 

From the 18th century onward, millions of people have traveled to the Senhor do Bonfim church in Bahia, asking for miracles. These fitas served as a symbol and remembrance of the miracles and wishes people hoped for. Originally made from silk, patrons of church would tie the fitas around their neck, and adorned their fitas with holy images and sculptures purchased from the church that were thought to have curative properties. 

Travel to the church today and find hundreds of photos of past patrons and hundreds of wax sculptures -- all representing the people who have traveled to Bahia and had their wishes and prayers answered. 

Today the common fita can be found in every corner of Brazil. Patrons most commonly tie them around their left wrist -- making 3 knots for 3 wishes. it is believed that your wishes will only come true by letting your ribbon take its natural course. Let it wither off slowly and keep your wishes to yourself. What is best about the modern fita is that it has helped brazilian rescue their cultural heritage. 

They create a common thread that allows the populous to look forward to their future by remembering their past.
