Urban and sociocultural dynamics

The present study aims to explicit the dynamics established between the people of Porto and the participants of the Venerable Third Order of Saint Francis of Porto’s Ash Procession, with particular regard for those whose profane reminiscences, albeit readjusted to better suit the religious manifestation’s universe, remained as deposit for traditions and practices that cheered the population. We will thus try to assess how the involvement between assistance and participants embodied another dimension of the procession.
