NOSSA SENHORA DE PRANTO CHURCH
Chapel famous for the service held there on Lenten Sundays in São Pedro de Nordestinho.
The chapel of Nossa Senhora do Pranto is famous for the services it hosts on Lenten Sundays, when pilgrims bring gifts in gratitude for the blessings they have received, which are then auctioned off. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared here in 1522 to a young shepherd, warning him of a plague epidemic in Ponta Delgada. If you're in the Nordeste region of São Miguel, be sure to pass by this place of celebration and homage.
