This Saturday, Madeira celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Mount, dedicated to the island's patron saint. Following Friday night's festivities which drew thousands to Monte, today is marked by the main religious celebrations.
The program includes a solemn mass at 11 AM, followed by the traditional procession through the parish streets. This religious event gathers numerous faithful, representing one of the most significant displays of faith in Madeira's religious calendar.
The celebration is expected to bring together locals, emigrants, and tourists in Monte, blending devotion to the patron saint with a deeply rooted regional tradition. For many emigrants, visiting Our Lady of the Mount is a special moment of returning to their roots.
