The Império do Espírito Santo da Canada de Belém, built in 1958 in Terra Chã, Angra do Heroísmo, celebrates the festival in honor of the Divine Holy Spirit on the fifth Sunday after Easter. The program includes changing the crown, daily rosary, ‘pezinho’ ceremony, distribution of pensions, procession to the parish church, mass, and coronation, followed by the distribution of bread and water. After the Holy Spirit soups, stewards are appointed for the next year, and funds are raised through the distribution of ‘alfenim’. The festival concludes with a bullfighting event on Monday.
