These are most likely the foremost important religious events that are celebrated in the Azores around easter time, and Terceira is no exception.
Usually, these are destined to greet and thank the Holy Spirit for a ill person`s health or some other threatning event that placed life in doubt. People pray and offer in honor of the Holy spirit, organizing a traditional religious fest around the "
Império" and the "
coroação" or crowning, high point of this tradition, happening at the end of the Sunday Mass.
