Festa dos Tabuleiros 2019 | Tomar - Portugal | Cortejo visto de cima | Travel Vlog
The Festa dos Tabuleiros (Festival of the Trays) or Festa do Divino Espírito Santo (Feast of the Holy Spirit), takes place every four years in July in Tomar, Portugal. This festival is an ancient tradition and the most important celebrated in the city, attracting people from all over the world. It is held every four years, the last one being held between the 4th and the 13th of July 2015. The local population parades in pairs with the girls carrying tabuleiros on their heads. The tabuleiro is made of 30 stacked pieces of bread, either in 6 rows of 5 or 5 rows of 6, decorated with flowers. At the top of the tabuleiro is a crown which normally contains either a white dove, symbolising the Holy Spirit, or the esfera armilar (armillary sphere), a symbol of the historical Portuguese maritime expansion, and over the sphere, the cross of the Order of Christ.
The festival also includes various traditional ceremonies like the Procession of the Crowns, the Procession of the Boys, the Procession of the Mordomo and the Arrival of the Bulls of the Holy Spirit, as well as partial parades and popular games. The Pêza, or sharing of bread and meat by the population, is celebrated on the day after the processions.
Although the festival originated in ancient Portuguese millenarian rituals dating to the 13th century, specifically the Culto do Império do Divino Espírito Santo (Cult of the Empire of the Holy Spirit) celebrated on the feast day of the Pentecost, and has gradually evolved since then, the form of the festival as currently celebrated was standardized in 1950. In this context, cult refers to accepted religious practice, rather than the modern negative connotations of the word.
In some localities around the town of Tomar, as at Carregueiros, the complete ceremony of the ancient cult of the Empire of the Holy Spirit is still practiced, including the Coronation of the Emperor, symbolizing the future Emperor of the Age of the Holy Spirit, and the Bodo (Feast).
According to the traditional doctrines of the cult, in this Third Age the world would be governed by the Empire of Holy Spirit under monastic or fraternal rule, in which the hierarchy of the Catholic Church, its intermediaries in the clergy, and organized churches would be unnecessary, and infidels would unite with Christians by their own free will. The Tabuleiros were identified as an offering by each family for the symbolic building of the Temple of Jerusalem, that is, as the supporting columns of the Temple of the Heavenly Jerusalem and of the Temple of Solomon.

A Festa dos Tabuleiros de Tomar
Festa dos Tabuleiros de Tomar ( (The Festival of Trays )
Um filme sobre uma tradição popular e uma utopia,
Difundida pelos séculos como legado e como missão.
-------------------------------------------------------
A Festa dos Tabuleiros é uma celebração da cidade de Tomar, Portugal e uma das maiores e mais antigas do país, sendo a Festa que atrai mais visitantes em Portugal, cerca de meio milhão de pessoas, apenas no dia do Cortejo dos Tabuleiros.
É também considerado um dos maiores Festivais do Mundo , tendo adquirido estatuto e fama internacional, e é hoje em dia um dos ícones culturais de Portugal.
A Festa dos Tabuleiros ou, também chamada, Festa do Divino Espírito Santo, encontra-se entre as mais antigas realizações culturais e religiosas portuguesas. As suas origens remontam às festas das colheitas que se realizavam nos tempos pagãos em honra da deusa Ceres. Com a cristianização e a criação da Congregação do Espírito Santo, adquiriram um cunho religioso.
Também conhecida como a Festa do Espírito Santo, realiza-se de 4 em 4 anos, no início do mês de Julho.
A simbologia do culto do espírito Santo viria a ser retomada por um dos maiores pensadores e filósofos portugueses e europeus do século XX, Fernando Pessoa, como a utopia do Quinto Império - concebida pelo padre António Vieira no século XVII.
Filmado em Tomar, Castelo de Almourol, em 12 e 13 de Julho de 2015.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Festival of Trays is a celebration of the city of Tomar, Portugal, and one of the largest and oldest in the country, being a festival that attracts more visitors in Portugal, about half a million people, only on the day of the Procession of trays.
It is also considered one of the greatest World Festivals, having acquired international status and fame, and is today one of the cultural icons of Portugal.
The Festival of Trays or also called, the feast of the Holy Spirit, is among the oldest Portuguese cultural and religious achievements. It has origins in the Cult of the Holy Spirit, which began in the 16th century, but we can see in it traces of earlier harvest festivals, such as in the profusion of flowers and the fact that bread and ears of wheat are present on the trays.
With the Christianization and the creation of the Holy Ghost Fathers, acquired a religious nature.
The Trays Festival is held every four years in early July.
The symbolism of the cult of the Holy Spirit would be taken up by one of the greatest thinkers and Portuguese and European philosophers of the twentieth century, Fernando Pessoa, as the utopia of the Fifth Empire - conceived by Father Antonio Vieira in the seventeenth century.
Filmed in Tomar, Almourol Castle, on 12 and 13 July, 2015.
