Religious festivities honoring Nossa Senhora dos Remédios have been held in Portugal, specifically in Lamego and Celorico de Basto. In Lamego, Father João António Teixeira described the celebrations as a ‘mariano tsunami,’ noting a significant increase in the number of faithful seeking spiritual guidance following the pandemic.

In Celorico de Basto, the Romaria de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios at Arco de Baúlhe included four days of events. These celebrations featured religious services presided over by Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, the presentation of a new hymn dedicated to the Virgin, and the Procissão do Triunfo involving musicians and community groups.
