Palm Sunday
It is on Palm Sunday (13 of April) that the last moments of the life of Jesus Christ are reflected, but there are many days at this time with a special meaning: on Holy Thursday the Lord's Supper is celebrated and on Friday, people are reflecting on the death of Jesus and the price of salvation, ending the Easter period on Resurrection Sunday or Easter Sunday.

Food and Dessert
Easter is one of the most cherished dates among the Portuguese, especially with regard to secular traditions and, of course, the typical dishes and sweets that give the festivity a special glow. Celebrated as a family feast, this is a celebration of colour, joy and much flavour. It is a time to taste culinary delicacies, such as lamb, folares, almonds and pão de ló (sponge cake), between drinks of conviviality with the family and the people of the land. From north to south, the country overflows with traditions, rituals, encounters and gastronomy, transmitted from generation to generation, in a unique legacy from place to place.

Compasso
In some towns and villages, there is a special celebration on Easter Sunday, that happens in specific churches. After that, a procession goes along the streets, greeting the people that are standing by, waiting for their blessings. In some of these processions, a specific group of people goes into particular homes to bless them and their families (the ones who ask for it). In Portuguese, that group is called “Compasso” and, besides blessing each home, people also kiss a figurine of Jesus or the Crucifix to thank them for their blessings.
HAPPY EASTER!
FELIZ PÁSCOA!
