Knowing Angel pendant necklace

A new listing for my shop ..the Knowing Angel image is a detail from a ceramic tile wall mural in the Convento de Esperança, Ponta Delgada, Azores.

Portuguese blue and white ceramic tiles are world famous for their beauty and storytelling. http://www.golisbon.com/culture/azulejos.html

The image of Senhor Santo Cristo is kept in the Convento de Esperança.

Festas Senhor Santo Cristo

photo © Moacir de Sá Pereira

Largest religous festival after Fatima in Portugal. Josefa, my daughter, and I followed the procession which takes 4 hours as there are so many 'followers'! http://www.virtualazores.com/santocristo/maini.html

Before the procession with the image of Senhor Santo Cristo passes, the streets are closed and

decorated with carpets of fresh flowers.

This is Josefa and Nicolau with our 'carpet'.
