Boys Procession. The Trays Festival. Festa dos Tabuleiros, Tomar.
Festa dos Tabuleiros Tomar, Portugal Unique in the world, the Trays Festival is held every four years. The Trays Festival is held every four years in early July. It has origins in the Cult of the Holy Spirit, which began in the 16th century, but we can see in it traces of earlier harvest festivals, such as in the profusion of flowers and the fact that bread and ears of wheat are present on the trays. Girls who carry the trays have to wear long white dresses with a coloured sash across the chest. They are helped by boys, who also wear a formal costume.
