The Bishop of Funchal, D. António Carrilho, has urged pilgrims to allow themselves to be "looked upon" by the Lord of Miracles during the ongoing celebrations in Machico.
The invitation was extended in anticipation of the religious festival, which annually draws many devotees to the city of Machico.
The celebrations in honor of the Lord of Miracles are a significant moment of faith and devotion on the island of Madeira.
