It was a long solemn procession with representatives from churches around the area carrying crosses or displays based on the cross. We’ve included some pictures of it below.
What was perhaps most striking was the reverence and respect of everyone watching. Even the guys working on a building site near the procession route downed tools and stood and watched in silence as the procession went past. Thousands of people in and around the procession and yet you could hear a pin drop.
We both found it a very moving experience and a fitting finale to our time in Portugal.
