That night there was a full moon and low clouds. A man stepping out of a pub thought the tower was on fire and sounded the alarm immediately. Neighbours, startled from their sleep, opened their windows and could only see the same thing. In no time at all, the whole city was in turmoil and the alarm sounded. The city council, the mayor in the lead, rushed to the scene of the calamity and started to organise the extinguishing works in a hurry. Along the tower stairs, buckets of water went from hand to hand like a chain, but even before reaching the top, the moon shifted through the mist and the courageous inhabitants of Mechelen had to admit that they had only seen the reddish glow of the moon. After all, the moonlight shone through the windows of the cathedral and the low clouds stood at the level of the bells in the St. Rombout tower, giving the impression that smoke was coming out of the tower.]]> 2020-10-29 12:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/872777430 ngxnbspnrh https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873060586 2020-10-29 13:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873060586 acvictorino https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873504878 This is a video of one of our dances.

I'm part of one group of folklore in Almeirim, a city very neer of Santarém. Our clothes are very unique even in comparing with other folklore groups here in Portugal. It's a little bit difficult to dance with our shoes because there aren't much traccion and we ofte lose them we dancing. My group have a lot of old people or very adult people and I love to exchange some experiences with them, it's very rewarding.]]> 2020-10-29 15:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873504878 acvictorino https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873586861 This is my favorite food of all! It's called stone soup because it has a real stone inside the soup. It's a caracteristic soup in Almeirim made with beans, pork, sausages, coriander, potatoes, onions, etc. This soup is associated with a legend that are explained in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVtoMMQIu5A]]> 2020-10-29 15:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873586861 neusa_branco https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873604971 2020-10-29 15:30:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873604971 https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873608093 In Saint Martin Day, fire, chestnuts and new wine!]]> 2020-10-29 15:30:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873608093 https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873664266 BROAS DOS SANTOS

According to tradition, those elements bring to the families who take them home the things that they mean. The “bouquet” should be placed behind the entrance door and should only be replaced by a new one on the day of the year of the following year. It’s also recurrent to put a coin in the bouquet to bring money to the family.]]> 2020-10-29 15:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873714612 serenadevleeschouwer https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873734097 2020-10-29 15:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873734097 https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873753076 2020-10-29 15:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873753076 https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873880122 2020-10-29 16:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hangoutproject2020/nationsevening/wish/873880122
