    "Those who have Ascension wheat all year round will have bread." Ear Day coincides with Ascension Thursday, the date on which the municipal holiday is celebrated. On May 14, gather with the community and take part in the scheduled activities: watch the sunrise and relive the tradition with the "Apanha da Espiga" walk to learn more about its significance, attend the outdoor mass, and enjoy the communal lunch and musical entertainment taking place in the natural amphitheater of Parque da Vila. We look forward to seeing you there!
