This tradition originates from the Brazilian belief in Yemanja, the goddess of the sea in Candomblé and Umbanda culture. They believe that Yemanja will bring them luck and peace in the New Year.

On New Year's Eve, Brazilians dress in white and head to the beach. When the clock strikes midnight, they jump over seven sea waves, each jump making a wish for good luck in the New Year. This tradition not only makes people feel close to nature but also creates a lively and fun festive atmosphere.

In addition, many people bring flowers and small gifts to offer to Yemanja. They let these gifts drift on the sea, hoping that the goddess will accept them and bless them.

The tradition of jumping seven waves in Brazil not only reflects their respect and love for the sea but also expresses their belief in rebirth and a new beginning. It is truly a wonderful way to welcome the New Year, full of hope and optimism.
