It is located approximately 30 km. west of Goiânia, to which it is connected by a four-lane highway, GO-060. ==Origin of the City== Although Trindade became a city in 1943, its origins go back to 1840, when, according to local folklore, in a small village called Barro Preto Constantino Xavier and his wife Ana Rosa found in their fields a small clay medallion showing the Holy Trinity crowning the Virgin Mary. Soon a palm covered chapel was raised to be later replaced by a mortar chapel covered with tiles. Lands were donated by local farmers and a religious shrine began to take form. Followers decided to embellish the simple clay medallion and it was taken to Pirenópolis to be worked on by the greatest artist of the region. The original clay medallion returned to Trindade substituted by a wooden representation and that is what is seen by pilgrims today in the main church. Today this statue is displayed in the basilica of Trindade, the only basilica in the world dedicated to God, the father figure of the Catholic trinity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trindade, Goiás」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
