Here's a Google translation of the "about" section of the Facebook page,
from which many of the viral article pics seem to have been taken:
We are a rural community in the city of Belo Vale / MG, called Bride of
the Lamb and have a philosophy, the Collaborative Work
to maintain a decent
quality of life for everyone, so we develop all activities together. The
Assoc. Bride of the Lamb ACNC also called, is a non-profit entity and
conducts Social and Cultural projects through partnership with public and
private agencies.
Our greatest reward is to live without fights or discord, love everyone
equally, without a shadow of doubt trust in our fellow man, have faith in
God and know that we do not need religion to have eternal life.
Products
Cultural, Theatre, Dance and Music, activities use art as a vehicle of
transformation, inclusion and recreation of children, teenagers, adults and
seniors. Survived agriculture and to supplement the income of the
community, create arts and crafts workshops, underwear and cleaning
products.
I'm guessing it's a town with a business/organization that employs
mostly/all women and someone made something up...

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to
draft one but
am a little worried because there seems to be only one
article about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
I didn't get any hits in either of

Maybe there's a Brazilian DB to check?
