What does the “The Fairies of Shade” meme mean?

Where does the “The Fairies of Shade” meme come from?

The video was filmed during the week of April 27-28, 2018, at Praça da Sé, in São Paulo, during a religious performance by a ten-year-old girl known as Missionária Vitória de Deus, who was preaching and singing to passersby. In the background, two sisters, nicknamed Branquinha (9) and Bebeu (11), daughters of street vendors from Alagoas, show an expression of boredom and mockery, one of them holding a small dog. The contrast between the emotion of the sermon and the sisters' unimpressed look made the clip spread heavily on Twitter, turning them into a meme.
