Girls in Portugal take 'carrying the weight' to a whole new level!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant print captured by Ardea Picture Library, we witness an enchanting tradition in Tomar, Portugal. The girls of this lively town are seen proudly parading through the streets, each carrying a tabuleiro (tray) adorned with symbols of the Holy Spirit. But what makes this spectacle truly remarkable is that these trays are not just any ordinary size – they stand as tall as the girls themselves! As if stepping into a fairy tale, these young ladies gracefully navigate their way through the festivities while balancing towering tabuleiros on their shoulders. The colorful decorations consisting of pigeons, crowns, loaves of bread, paper flowers (often field poppies), and corn create a mesmerizing sight against the backdrop of sunny daylight. This scene not only showcases Portuguese heritage but also highlights Europe's rich cultural history. It's no wonder that UNESCO has recognized Tomar as a World Heritage site! Photographer Julie Eggers perfectly captures every detail and essence of this festive event. So next time you feel like your load is too heavy to bear, remember these resilient girls from Tomar who effortlessly carry trays taller than themselves! Their determination and grace will surely inspire you to tackle any challenge with enthusiasm and flair.
