Cinco Chagas de Cristo

7 de FEVEREIRO: Hoje a Igreja celebra as CINCO CHAGAS DE CRISTO

O culto das Cinco Chagas do Senhor, isto é, as feridas que Cristo recebeu na Cruz e manifestou aos Apóstolos depois da Ressurreição, foi sempre uma devoção muito viva entre os portugueses, desde os começos da nacionalidade.

São disso testemunho a literatura religiosa e a onomástica referente a pessoas e a instituições. Os Lusíadas sintetizam (1,7) o simbolismo que tradicionalmente relaciona as armas da bandeira nacional com as Chagas de Cristo.

Assim, os Papas, a partir de Bento XIV, concederam para Portugal esta festa particular, que ultimamente veio a ser fixada no dia 7 de Fevereiro.

An English take on Sorpotel!

Shakespeare on Sorpotel And as I am so thoughtful, I'll do you guys a favour, Though you won't get a mouthful, I'll try to catch the flavour. It's made of many piggy parts, Heart, fat and liver, Vinegar that smells like farts, (Looks like water from the river). The meat is chopped in little bits, After being on the boil. Forty chillies to give you the sh*ts, And half a gallon of oil. And all the grand ol' aunties, Will insist, you'll see, On half a pint of piggy blood, For the right consistency. Oh! Why are you gagging? Why do you look so pale? Did you hear granny bragging? "It's better when it's stale!" It's delicious and it's really HOT We eat on 25th December, On boxing day sit on the pot, And boy! Do we remember! So grab your rope my dearest friends, Draw some water from your well. You'll need plenty of it at both your ends, When you experience SORPOTEL! :)
