The Rosary of Women, one of the largest pilgrimages at the National Sanctuary of Aparecida, has set a new attendance record this weekend, bringing together 35,000 participants at the Basilica dedicated to Brazil's Patroness. This event has grown significantly since its inception in 2014, when it started with around 300 women, demonstrating the increasing popularity and significance of the pilgrimage among faith communities. The previous record was 30,000 attendees in 2025, highlighting the event's rapid growth in recent years.

Since its beginning, the Rosary of Women has seen a consistent increase in numbers, with only two years of restricted participation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual growth in participation showcases the event's integral role in the spiritual lives of many women in Brazil. With the increase in attendance year by year, it emphasizes not only the strong community bonds among participants but also the enthusiasm for religious gatherings in the post-pandemic context.

Looking ahead, the 14th edition of the Rosary of Women is already scheduled for 2027, indicating the strong organizational support and continued interest in this type of religious event. The growth trend indicates a deepening sense of community and spirituality among attendees, as well as the sustained relevance of such religious events in Brazilian society.
