First Sunday in August
Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem, Peniche, Leiria, Oeste, Centro, Portugal
Invoked by fishermen and other seafarers, Our Lady of Good Voyage is the
patron saint of Peniche on Portugal's central coast. The local devotion began in
the 1800s. Fishermen would visit Our Lady's shrine before setting out to sea. In the 1900s the date
of the festa was set to the first Sunday in
August. On that day several masses are held, followed by the Procissão em Terra, Land
Procession, when devotees carry Our Lady's statue through the streets. In 1948,
the parish priest added a
Procissão do Mar, Sea Procession, on Saturday night. This has become a major
event, in which a flotilla of lighted boats escort statues of Our Lady and other
saints. Fireworks displays follow both processions. Peniche celebrates the
Monday after as a civic holiday.
