The Church of Senhor do Socorro ((ポルトガル語:Igreja do Senhor do Socorro)) is an 18th-century Baroque sanctuary situated in the civil parish of Labruja, municipality of Ponte de Lima, in the Portuguese district of Viana do Castelo. The church is the centre of pilgrimages and festivals in honour of the ''Lord of Help/Distress'', particularly on the first Saturday and Sunday of July, attracting many people from the Portuguese diaspora. ==History== The construction of the church began in 1773, possibly with royal grants given the presence of the coat-of-arms located on the frontispiece. A votive offering was already occurring at the site by 1774.〔 Work on the sanctuary continued the rest of this centre, with decoration and public artwork installed in the retable and chancel.〔 The cost of the work on the collateral retables were readjusted by painters Manuel José Afonso (from the parish of Sapo) and Manuel Martins da Cunha (resident of Covas) to the tune of 78$200 reis on 15 December 1777.〔 Sometime in the 19th century the sanctuary was renovated by António Augusto Pereira.〔 On separate occasions the church became a centre of votive offerings, similar to 1774.〔 These were made either to fulfill a vow made to God for deliverance, or offering to the church in gratitude for a favor that was granted.〔 In 1829, the votives were offered to delivering the faithful, while in 1877, a votive was issued for miraculous cures.〔 Given the date associated with the sanctuary (1864), 100 years after the construction of the church, it is unclear whether this was part of the original design, or if it developed later.〔 If it was secondary plan, it can be concluded that this design was influenced by the construction of the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus (in Braga), which was constructed between 1784-1811.〔 Carlos Alberto Ferreira de Almeida, has noted that interior tile is one of the more notable group of tilework this lateral period of construction.〔 Between 1981 and 1982, a plaque was installed to mark and the public works to the chapel of the "Via Sacra" (''Holy Way''), by Manuel Esteves.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Church of Senhor do Socorro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
