This festival dates back to a vow of gratitude by the community for having been spared the black plague. The highlight of the festival is the solemn mass followed by a sermon, to which is added a grandiose procession with floats and figures that make their way through the streets of the parish, enriching the event with strong religious and cultural symbolism. The blessing of the cross at the Lamaçães traffic circle is an emblematic moment of the festival.
In addition to the religious ceremonies, the festival includes performances by the local Folklore Group and other cultural events that highlight the traditions of Minho, making it a festive occasion that attracts both locals and visitors who want to get to know the roots and liveliness of the region's popular culture.
