Castro Marim Mother Church hosts yet another Singing to the Child Encounter

This Saturday, December 10rd

This Saturday, December 10th, at 18:00, the Igreja Matriz de Castro Marim will host the 3rd Meeting of Cantares ao Menino, by Associação Amendoeiras em Flor.

In this initiative, a set of hymns of praise and adoration of the Child will be presented, framed in the Christmas cycle of the country.

In addition to the Traditional Songbook Amendoeiras em Flor – Castro Marim, the Folkloric and Ethnographic Ranch of Odiáxere, Lagos, and the folkloric ranch of Redinha, Pombal will be present.

According to Associação Amendoeiras em Flor, this initiative was born with the objective of reviving the memory of the local community, in an appreciation of the cultural identity marked by this tradition in which people sang in adoration of the Child «from the preparation of the celebration of Christmas, in the time of Advent, until the end of the Christmas cycle with the Epiphany, known as the day of the Kings».

The display of these songs «well highlights the differences existing in our country, each region had a specific Christmas identity but a single feeling, that of celebrating the birth of God the Child», concludes the Association.

The 3rd Meeting of Cantares ao Menino is organized by Associação Cultural Amendoeiras em Flor, with the support of Castro Marim City Council, Castro Marim Parish Council, S. Tiago de Castro Marim Parish and Portuguese Folklore Federation.
