Folklore

[edit]

Two books recounting histories, legends and stories about Aporá have been published. One was a work written by the pupils of the city's Golden College, titled "Basic Information on Aporá", and the other is called "Ao Lusco Fusco" (At Twilight), from author Selma Oliveira de Mendonça, in which she describes the origins of the name『Aporá』and presents traditional legends and customs of the city. A famous legend in the local folklore is the "Serpent of the Lagoon", the story of a newborn rejected by its mother, who throws it in a lagoon, and later summoned by a priest to come out of the waters, raising instead as a fire-breathing serpent that attacks the neglectful mother.
