Cristo Mendigo
Cristo Mendigo is a symbolic figure in Brazilian carnival culture, first introduced during the 1989 Rio Carnival by the Beija-Flor samba school. The statue, which represented the struggles of marginalized communities, became iconic after its controversial debut, with the phrase "Mesmo proibido olhai por nós" capturing public sentiment. Recently, a new version of Cristo Mendigo was paraded at the Sapucaí, continuing its legacy as a powerful emblem of social commentary in carnival festivities.
