Penedos, June celebrations, HBM

THE BEGINNING OF THE CELEBRATIONS IN THE MONTH OF JUNE, IN VARIOUS PARTS OF NORTHERN EUROPE, OF THE POPULAR SAINTS, WAS DUE TO THE SUMMER SOLSTICE, AND THE LIT BONFIRES MARKED THE PERIOD OF UNION OF THE COMMUNITIES INVOLVED. ALTHOUGH THE CELEBRATION STARTED IN REGIONS OF PAGAN TRADITION, IT WAS THE CHURCH, WHICH, BY SPREADING TO SUCH PLACES, UNITED THE DATES TO THE CELEBRATION OF ITS SAINTS AND HOLIDAYS, SUCH AS SAINT PETER, SAINT JOHN AND SAINT ANTHONY FOR EXAMPLE.

IN PENEDOS IT IS THE OPORTUNITY TO GATHER WITH SURROUNDING VILLAGES, THIS WAS TAKEN SATURDAY WITH MY SMARTPHONE, WE HAD SINGERS, POETRY, A MEAL AND AFTER WE DANCED TILL... VERY LATE...
