The Império da Santa da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Angra do Heroísmo, built in 1998 in the parish of Nossa Senhora da Conceição, municipality of Angra do Heroísmo, celebrates the feast of the Divine Holy Spirit on the sixth Sunday after Easter. The festivities begin a week earlier with the transfer of the crown to the Empire, followed by various cultural and religious activities, including the ‘bodo de leite’ and performances by folk and musical groups. On Sunday, there is the coronation procession followed by a festive mass at the Church of Mercy. The event includes a typical lunch and sometimes bullfighting during the week.
