Religious observances and pilgrimages in Portugal

Overview

Religious observances and pilgrimages are centered around Fátima and Braga in October. The Sanctuary of Fátima scheduled its International Anniversary Pilgrimage for October 12 and 13 to commemorate the final 1917 apparition, featuring a Eucharistic Procession and an International Mass.

In the Braga region, celebrations include the Feast of Our Lady of Aparecida for the Brazilian community on October 12, as well as a dedicated event in Guimarães on October 11.

Amidst these scheduled events, Portuguese Minister Miguel Pinto Luz completed a four-day, 130 km pilgrimage from Lisbon to Fátima. Following the trek, Pinto Luz stated that “tolerance does not mean hiding one’s religious convictions,” noting that individuals should not have to eliminate their own identity to respect others.
