EDITORS COMMENTS
Girls of Portugal: Carrying Traditions on Their Shoulders!". In this vibrant snapshot captured by Julie Eggers, we witness the enchanting festivities of Tomar, Portugal. The girls proudly parade through the streets, their faces beaming with joy as they carry tabuleiros adorned with symbols of the Holy Spirit. Each tray is meticulously decorated with colorful paper flowers, corn, a majestic crown, and even a gentle pigeon. What makes this spectacle truly remarkable is that each tabuleiro matches the height of its young bearer – a testament to both their strength and dedication to preserving their cultural heritage. As these girls walk in unison, they not only carry trays filled with 30 loaves of bread but also carry forward centuries-old traditions passed down from generation to generation. The air is filled with excitement as locals gather to celebrate this grand festival known as Festa dos Tabuleiros. Amidst the lively atmosphere and Mediterranean charm, it becomes evident why UNESCO has recognized Tomar as a World Heritage site. This print transports us into an era where history comes alive through vivid colors and heartfelt traditions. It serves as a reminder that no matter how modern our world becomes, there will always be places like Tomar where time stands still – embracing customs that define who we are while creating lasting memories for future generations.
