Do this in remembrance of me\u201d ‘\u00bb<\/em>(Lk 22: 19-20).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the time, the President of celebration makes the appropriate homily, with special focus on the lesson of the feet-wash and the \u00abnew commandment\u00bb given by Jesus as a spiritual testament to his disciples (Sermon of the Mandate<\/strong>). \u00abI give you a new commandment: that you love one another. [\u2026] That will be when everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another as I have loved you\u00bb<\/em>(Jn 13, 34-35).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the mass, the congregation sings the hour of Vespers<\/strong>, while the living Christ present in the consecrated Host is carried in procession through the aisles of the Cathedral to a place of worship (representing the Garden of Olives), where it will remain until it is removed, the following day in procession as well, from there to the Tomb. The faithful are invited to guard with Him, at the hour of his Passion. In a sign of mourning, the altar is uncovered.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the afternoon, the faithful are invited to visit the seven churches, which represent the Seven Stations of Rome \u2014 S\u00e9 Primaz (Primate), Miseric\u00f3rdia, Santa Cruz, Terceiros, Salvador, Penha<\/em> and Concei\u00e7\u00e3o \/ Mons. <\/em>Airosa<\/em>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the same time, a large group of \u2018<\/strong>farricocos\u2019<\/strong>,<\/em> cross the city centre with its noisy rattles. In their pagan origin, they were a masked group who crossed through the streets, announcing the way of the condemned and reporting their crimes. Already “Christianized”, in ancient times, with their mentality then roamed the streets calling the public sinners to their reintegration in the Church, after having repented and forgiven. It was the procedure those days to understand the mercy to sinners, to whom indulgence (endoen\u00e7a) had been applied to. Currently, a substituted lasting meaning is given to the call of the Brothers of Mercy to the Procession of the evening. The use of noisy “rattles” for this effect was introduced in remote years replacing the ringing of bells, which in major days of Holy week were silent.<\/p>\n","galeria":[{"ID":1938,"id":1938,"title":"BRAGA SEMANA SANTA","filename":"20130328_WAPA_HD_23065-copy-e1489918169864.jpg","filesize":82183,"url":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20130328_WAPA_HD_23065-copy-e1489918169864.jpg","link":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/en\/lava-pes-missa-da-ceia-do-senhor\/braga-semana-santa-5\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"Cerim\u0097nia do Lava-p\u008es, o Arcebispo Primaz de Braga D.Jorge Ortiga, lavou hoje os p\u008es a 12 jovens de institui\u008d\u009bes sociais, na missa da tarde de Quinta-feira Santa na S\u008e Catedral de Braga.

Vigil and Procession of Resurrection","subtitulo":"Holy Saturday, 21h00","descricao":" For the Easter Vigil, all the celebrations of Holy Week and even of the entire liturgical year congregate. Remembering the night of vigil of the Hebrew people in Egypt, awaiting the hour of release (Exodus 12), celebrate their own Christians redemption by the mystery of the Resurrection of Christ. Therefrom, the great Easter or Passage from death to life or state of doom to the state of salvation. This is the ultimate victory of God, in Christ, over sin, evil and death itself. On the spiritual scope, the Christians take the grace of this passage by Baptism. Therefore, the baptismal liturgy has a prominent place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Easter Vigil \u2013 named after St. Augustine \u00abthe mother of all Vigils\u00bb – is a most solemn celebration, rich in global symbolism and particular symbols: darkness, light, water, paschal candle, joyful color of vestments the explosion of sound and light.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It integrates four parts and concludes with the Resurrection Procession.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Part 1 Participants are invited to hold lit candles in their hands, imitating those servants of which the Gospel speaks (Lk 12: 35-37), who await, vigilantly, their Lord who will make them sit at His table. This part ends with the singing of the Preg\u00e3o (Proclamation), solemnly announcing the victory of Christ.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Part 2 <\/p>\n Part 3 <\/p>\n Part 4 Every Sunday is a day of paschal day, because it symbolizes and evokes, in the Christian rhythm of weeks, the first day of a new world opened with the Resurrection of Christ. Easter Sunday is, in this sense, the example of every Sunday. So proclaims the Liturgy: “This is the day the Lord has made! Be glad and rejoice and sing for joy!” Therefore, the Church celebrates with special solemnity the Eucharist, memorial recalling that mystery.<\/p>\n","galeria":[{"ID":1954,"id":1954,"title":"missa-domingo-de-pascoa-semana-santa-braga","filename":"20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-e1489920341940.jpg","filesize":145889,"url":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-e1489920341940.jpg","link":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/en\/20150405_hd_wapa_3182\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"20150405_hd_wapa_3182","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2017-03-19 10:45:12","modified":"2017-03-21 08:48:36","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":730,"height":487,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-365x230.jpg","thumbnail-width":360,"thumbnail-height":227,"medium":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-640x427.jpg","medium-width":640,"medium-height":427,"medium_large":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":640,"medium_large-height":427,"large":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-1080x720.jpg","large-width":640,"large-height":427,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-e1489920341940.jpg","1536x1536-width":730,"1536x1536-height":487,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/20150405_HD_WAPA_3182-e1489920341940.jpg","2048x2048-width":730,"2048x2048-height":487}}]}]},"yoast_head":"\n
\nLiturgy of the Word
\n<\/strong>Allusive reading to the sacrifice of Christ, interspersed with singing of psalms and narration of the Passion of Jesus according to St. John. The Bishop who presides gives the homily, traditionally known as the Sermon on the Burial.<\/p>\n
\nUniversal Prayer
\n<\/strong>Successive prayers for the needs of the Church and the world.<\/p>\n
\nAdoration of the Cross
\n<\/strong>After being directed, covertly, to the Presiding Bishop, this provides the people the progressive discovery of the mystery – \u00abBehold the wood of the Cross!\u00bb, which at the same time invites to its adoration: – \u00abCome, let us adore him!\u00bb. The people in procession, reach closer to kiss and worship what was the price for their redemption.<\/p>\n
\nHoly Communion
\n<\/strong>Communing the Body of Christ, the faithful recall the words of St. Paul: “When you eat this bread [… ] you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes” (1 Cor 11: 26).\u00a0Then follows the singing of Vespers.<\/p>\n
\nLiturgy of Light
\n<\/strong>With Christ resurrected, the Light has shined in the darkness. The Easter candle is the symbol of this and is brought in procession and placed before the faithful.<\/p>\n
\nLiturgy of the Word
\n<\/strong>God\u2019s marvellous works are recounted within the story of salvation, from the creation of the world until the grand gesture \u00bbNew Creation\u00ab through the resurrection of Christ, the start and beginning of a new world. The readings are alternated with acclamations, the last being the singing of the Easter Hallelujah. At the song of Glory, the darkened Cathedral suddenly becomes a burst of light.<\/p>\n
\nBaptismal Liturgy
\n<\/strong>The saints are invoked with the Ladainha<\/em> song. The Baptismal water is blessed and carried in the procession. The people are sprinkled. Baptismal promises are renewed. If there are baptisms scheduled, the Sacrament is administered.<\/p>\n
\nLiturgy of the Eucharist
\n<\/strong>Festive celebration of the first Easter Mass of Easter. Towards the end of Mass, the Blessed Sacrament, which had been closed in the coffin cloaked in black, is placed in the monstrance and taken to the high altar. The Procession of the Resurrection, typical of the Braga Ritual, is held through the aisles of the Cathedral. Back at the main altar, the living Christ in the white Host blesses all the faithful, which bid Him farewell by listening and singing the Regina Coeli, laetare<\/em> (Queen of Heaven, rejoice), in a congratulating way of Senhora das Dores (Lady of Sorrows) transforming into a Senhora da Alegria (Lady of Joy).<\/p>\n","galeria":[{"ID":1951,"id":1951,"title":"vigilia-pascal-semana-santa-braga-03","filename":"HDF_5825-e1489920136266.jpg","filesize":128710,"url":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/HDF_5825-e1489920136266.jpg","link":"https:\/\/semanasantabraga.com\/en\/hdf_5825\/","alt":"","author":"2","description":"","caption":"","name":"hdf_5825","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2017-03-19
