SAINT PLACID’S STUMP
October 4th, 2024
Almargem (civil parish of Calde, municipality of Viseu)
On the evening of October 4th, the village of Almargem hosted the annual celebration of the Saint Placid’s Stump, dedicated to the local patron saint and held the day after the Toco de São Francisco in the neighboring village of Várzea de Calde.
With its presence at this event, Binaural Nodar has resumed its ethnographic work in conjunction with the civil parish of Calde and the Várzea de Calde Linen Museum, and over the last decade has collected hundreds of records dedicated to multiple aspects of the local cultural heritage. These collections are also part of the Creative Europe Tramontana IV project.
