Northern Portuguese City Valongo- Portugal

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog :-)

Easter is just around the corner and we can see it right here in our city. We don't usually celebrate this date and we always choose to leave the city on these days.
When I was little I remember that Easter Sunday was always a big event. My mother woke everyone up at home super early... Everyone had to get up and get dressed, tidy the house, set the table to receive the beat.

A Páscoa está aí a porta e conseguimos perceber isso aqui mesmo na nossa cidade. Não costumamos festejar esta data e optamos sempre por sair da cidade nestes dias.
Quando era pequena lembro-me que o domingo de Páscoa era sempre um grande evento. A minha mãe acordava toda a gente lá em casa super cedo... Todos tinham de se levantar e vestir, arrumar a casa, pôr a mesa para receber o compasso.

I was ready at eight in the morning to receive the beat at eleven :-)
Our house was always the first in the family to kiss the cross and then I ran to my aunt and uncle's house to welcome them back. At the time I really liked it, now that I think I was kissing a cross that had already passed through I don't know how many houses it confuses me.
After my father's death, I received the compass for the last time at my mother's house. When they entered the house she burst into tears (because the people carrying the cross are our neighbors) and it was very difficult for me to watch... When I left the house we stopped carrying out this "ritual". Here in our city, Easter is felt with crosses and purple cloths spread across the city's houses and streets. Last week the Senhor dos Passos procession took place, attracting many people from outside to watch it. This procession recreates Jesus' last steps during Lent.

Estava pronta as oito da manhã para receber o compasso as onze :-)
A nossa casa era sempre a primeira da família a beijar a cruz e depois corria para casa dos meus tios para os voltar a receber. Na altura gostava imenso, agora que penso que dava beijos numa cruz que já tinha passado por não sei quantas casas faz-me confusão.
Após a morte do meu pai , recebi o compasso pela ultima vez em casa da minha mãe. Quando entraram em casa ela desfez-se em lágrimas (pois as pessoas que levam a cruz são nossas vizinhas)e para mim foi muito difícil assistir... Quando saí de casa deixamos de cumprir este "ritual". Cá na nossa cidade a Páscoa faz-se sentir com cruzes e panos roxos espalhados pela casas e ruas da cidade. A semana passada decorreu a procissão do Senhor dos Passos que chama muita gente de fora para assistir à mesma. Esta procissão recria os últimos passos de Jesus durante o período da quaresma.

This Sunday the main avenue is full of kids and adults, food trucks and balloons. On this day things were much calmer and we took the opportunity to take a walk around here.
We let ourselves be guided by the smell of chocolate that took us to the Paupério biscuit factory.
This was created by António de Sousa Malta Paupério and Joaquim Carlos Figueira in 1874, but under the name “Paupério & Companhia”.
We took advantage of the store being open and brought some cookies for a snack.

Nesse domingo a avenida principal fica repleta de miudos e graudos, roulotes de farturas e balões. Neste dia as coisas já estavam bem mais tranquilas e aproveitamos para dar um passeio por aqui mesmo.
Deixamo-nos guiar pelo cheirinho a chocolate que nos levou até à fábrica de biscoitos Paupério.
Esta foi criada por António de Sousa Malta Paupério e Joaquim Carlos Figueira em 1874, mas sob o nome de “Paupério & Companhia”.
Aproveitamos que a loja estava aberta e trouxemos uns biscoitos para o lanche.

Every day of the week when the store opens to the public, we can purchase a bag with around three kg of cookies at a very low price. These are the biscuits that break and do not pass quality control before being placed in artisanal boxes.
We returned home to eat our cookies and rest.
There's a lot more to show but that's for a next time.

PT

Todos os dias da semana na abertura da loja ao público podemos adquirir um saco com cerca de três kg de biscoitos a uma valor muito reduzido. São os biscoitos que se partem e que não passam no controlo de qualidade para serem colocados nas caixas artesanais.
Voltamos a casa para comer os nossos biscoitos e descansar.
Há muito mais para mostrar mas fica para uma próxima.
