Pagan traditions never really stopped - some of them still exist in modern Judaism, and I am going to write about that too.

I saw today such remnant in Copacabana.
Today there is a festival of the local virgin, with many pagan charactertistics.
The pilgrims who climb on the mountain, bring with them miniatures of houses, vehicles, money and even diplomas, and put them near the virgin `pesel`.
They believe that in doing so, they will receive the real thing during the following year.
