About the Book
As procissões da Semana Santa em Braga, Portugal, a minha cidade natal, atraem centenas de pessoas todos os anos. Manifestação de culto religioso para alguns, para outros é um género de romaria festiva ou mesmo promoção social. O tema tem sido exaustivamente explorado todos os anos também em fotografia e estas imagens são a minha interpretação artistica mas também critica de realidade que conheço bem, pois nasci e vivi numa das ruas de passagem das procissões da Semana Santa.
