Machico is celebrating the traditional Lord of Miracles festival this weekend, an event that mobilizes crowds driven by faith.
The historic devotion to the Lord of Miracles is marked by the traditional torchlight procession, led by seafarers, and Eucharistic celebrations.
A group of pilgrims completed the Funchal-Chapel of Miracles walking route, with encouraging words from the Bishop of Funchal, arriving in Machico tired but fulfilled.
