Religious and cultural festivities in Portugal

Overview

Religious and cultural festivities are being observed across various regions of Portugal. In the Madeira region, celebrations include the feast of Nossa Senhora da Graça in Porto Formoso, which is characterized by the display of multicolored Coleus plants, known locally as ‘Urtiga’, in front of homes.

In Caniçal, traditions honoring Nossa Senhora da Piedade, the patron saint of fishermen, involve a maritime procession where decorated fishing boats accompany the religious image from the coast to the parish church. This year, the festivities in Caniçal included the return of nearly two thousand kilograms of previously seized dried tuna to local fishermen for use in community celebrations.
