The ''Pão-de-Deus'' (Bread of God) celebration is a Portuguese tradition celebrated all over Portugal by children up to the age of 10 or older on 1 November, the same day of ''Dia de Todos-os-Santos'' (All Saints' Day). It is the soulmass-cakes given to the poor on All Saints Day.〔(Vieira, Antonio.Portuguese & English )〕 == Customs == From early in the morning (8 or 9 am) children meet together and walk around the neighborhood, knock at all doors and local stores and say "Pão-de-Deus" to the adults they meet. People at home give them small gifts such as broas (small bread-like cakes flavored heavily with anise and nuts), chocolates, candy, nuts, fruit, or in some cases, money. At the local stores the offers are different. A store may give the children treats or a sample of a product they sell: bakers give a little bread, fruit stalls give some chestnuts, and so on. In the Azores the children are given a cake called "caspiada" during this ritual begging.The cakes have the shape of the top of a skull.〔(Intermuseus Dezembro 2006 nº 7Direcção Regional da Cultura )〕 The Pão-de-Deus or Santoro is the bread, or offering, that is given to the dead, the Molete or Samagaio (also called sabatina, raiva da criança (child's rage)) is the bread, or offering, that is given when a child is born.〔(Vir à luz —práticas e crenças associadas ao nascimento António Amaro das Neves Revista de Guimarães, n.º 104, 1994, pp. 51-81 )〕〔(/ International Colloquium on Luso-Brazilian Studies - Volume 1 - Página 162 )〕 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「Pão-por-Deus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
