WE celebrate SENHOR DE MATOSINHOS!

2021

Dear Friends,

Today we celebrate the biggest religious festival in our city, in honor of the patron saint Bom Jesus de Matosinhos - Senhor de Matosinhos!

The festivity of Senhor de Matosinhos has been going on for 700 years and in previous years it gathered around two million visitors, according to calculations by the municipality. Usually, the celebrations include music bands to liven up the streets and traditional bandstands, handicrafts exhibitions, tales of legends and traditions, fireworks, table football, carousels and bumper cars, stalls of abundance, roasted sardines and green broth, and stalls with traditional dishes at "Feira da Louça".

Sensitive to the symbolism, faith and devotion that this pilgrimage mobilizes for the municipality, this year the City Council decided to present a different program, adapted to the current circumstances, respecting the norms issued by the General Directorate of Health and in compliance with the episcopal guidelines.

We highlight the Solemn Eucharist of the Feast of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, presided by the Auxiliary Bishop of Porto, D. Pio Alves, today at 11 am.

In a playful way, in an exhibition that will last until the 6th of June, shared by the Museum of Quinta de Santiago, the Municipal Gallery and the building of the "Paços do Concelho", Matosinhos will also show, on the occasion of its parties, about 450 works in which the municipality has invested over the past 25 years.

Good holiday for all the "Matosinhenses"!

A huge HUUUUG! Fátima C. Brízio
