Easter

This is one of the highlights of the religious calendar across the country. Braga hosts the biggest celebration, with Holy Week processions featuring marchers holding torches and charming floats. These lead to the parish church where flowers are laid on the floor for the priest to walk over on Easter Sunday. Fireworks and folk dancing also take place.
