Unreferenced date August 2010 Christianity by country Panama is a predominantly Christian country, a result of the Spanish conquistadors and centuries of missionaries. Like the rest of Latin America, the Catholicism of the conquest began to shift as aspects of indigenous, African and other spiritualities were acculturated In recent decades, however, Protestantism , especially those denominations strongest in North America, has been gaining ground. Numbers Statistics are unclear as to the exact percentage of Panama s population that are Christian , though the country has large religious minorities who adhere to Buddhism , Islam , Judaism , and indigenous religions. Most numbers consider around four fifths of Panama s population to be Catholic, and up to 12 to be Protestant. Local Christian Symbols Like the rest of the continent, Panamanians celebrate Carnival Carnaval before Lent, and towns and regions have their own festivals at different parts of the year. The most famous of these is the festival of the Cristo Negro, the Black Jesus Christ, in the town of Portobelo in the Col n Province on October 21. In Las Tablas and Herrera provinces, festivals are held for the Jesus Cristo de Azuero, named after the peninsula.
