Historical recreation in S. Mamede de Infesta on Saturday. Free entry.
Next Saturday, the 20th, S. Mamede de Infesta will host the recreation of the legend of Santo António do Telheiro.
For years, the Leça do Balio Monastery hosted the Order of the Knights of S. João de Jerusalém do Hospital, a religious-military order known as "Hospitalários", which provided shelter and assistance to the pilgrims who demanded the tomb of the apostle Santiago in Compostela.
One of the pilgrims was said to be Fernando de Bulhões, better known as Saint Anthony. It is said that during the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, caught in a terrible storm, Saint Anthony found shelter under a shed where the chapel now stands.
This episode will be remembered in the show next Saturday, at 9:30 pm, in front of the Chapel of Santo António do Telheiro. Admission is free.
The recreation, with the participation of historian Joel Cleto, will feature a company of actors and extras who will bring to life a number of episodes in the life of St. Anthony, among them, allusive miracles, such as the Miracle of St. Anthony of Telheiro, which occurred at this location during his passage on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.
The staging will also include moments of voiceover and pyrotechnics.
