About the event
During the first two weeks of July, girls parade around the streets of Tomar with piles of bread on their heads as part of the ancient Festa dos Tabuleiros (Festival of the Trays). Also known as Festa do Divino Espirito Santo (Feast of the Holy Spirit), the event is Tomar’s biggest and most spectacular procession. However, it only takes place every four years. People walk in pairs with the girls wearing tabuleiros; these are headdresses made from bread stacked in rows, festooned with flowers and topped with a crown and dove or celestial sphere.
