Summary

[edit]
Description

Sítio magnífico, onde se conjuga a obra da natureza com a notável obra do homem. O Santuário do Bom Jesus do Monte encontra-se no cimo do Monte Espinho, rodeado de uma frondosa mata. A construção é dos séculos XVIII e XIX, cruzando os estilos barroco, rococó e neoclássico. Composto pelas capelas da Via Sacra e pela Igreja, uma monumental alameda e escadaria pontuada por estátuas e fontes simbólicas, este modelo teve amplas repercussões em Portugal e no Brasil.

Conta a lenda que alguém colocou uma cruz no cimo do Monte Espinho e começaram a acontecer peregrinações naquele local. Nos 4º Domingos da Quaresma realizam-se procissões da Via Sacra e no 5º Domingo da Quaresma, uma procissão de penitência; existem outras festividades, nomeadamente, o Domingo de Ramos e o Divino Espirito Santo.

Bom Jesus do Monte is a Portuguese sanctuary in the surroundings of the city of Braga, in northern Portugal. Its name means Good Jesus of the mountain.

The Sanctuary is a notable example of pilgrimage site with a monumental, Baroque stairway that climbs 116 metres (381 feet). It is an important tourist attraction of Braga. The design of the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus, with its Baroque nature emphasised by the zigzag form of its stairways, influenced many other sites in Portugal (like Lamego) and colonial Brazil, like the Sanctuary of Congonhas. As the pilgrims climbed the stairs, they encountered a theological programme that contrasted the senses of the material world with the virtues of the spirit, at the same time as they experienced the scenes of the Passion of Christ. The culmination of the effort was the temple of God, the church on the top of the hill. The presence of several fountains along the stairways give the idea of purification of the faithful.

The new church (built 1784–1834) by Carlos Amarante was one of the first Neoclassic churches of Portugal. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bom_Jesus_do_Monte" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bom_Jesus_do_Monte</a>
