Tradition: As Festas e tradições
dos Portugueses na Califórnia (DVD)
Produced, Directed and Edited
by Fr. Luis
Proença, S.J.
The Portuguese in California are a thriving community
with a compelling story that is an integral part of
the history of this state. Attracted by the Gold Rush,
the Portuguese (mainly from the Azores Islands) found
their passage to California as crewmembers aboard American
whaling ships and began arriving in the mid-1800s.
They brought with them not only their traditions,
but also an intense desire to succeed in this land
of opportunity. The Feasts of the Holy Spirit, embody
the memories of the past and showcase the integration
of Portuguese intoCalifornia culture.
