Abstract(s)
Desde o reinado de D. João IV, a imagem da Virgem Maria sob os seus diferentes
epítetos, tem vindo a ser adorada até aos tempos de hoje. É tal a devoção a Nossa
Senhora, que segundo uma lenda transmontana, sete capelinhas com orago à Mãe de
Jesus, localizadas em topos de montes da região transmontana, se avistam e as respetivas
Virgens comunicam entre si, todas as manhãs.
Freixo de Espada à Cinta, vila transmontana e, também, devota a Nossa Senhora afirma,
contrariamente à lenda, que Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos é uma das sete irmãs. Tal
se afirma, uma vez que, segundo se fala, numa manhã aquando da preparação da
capelinha da Senhora dos Montes Ermos, foi encontrada terra no vestido da imagem,
supondo assim à peregrinação desta até às ermidas das suas irmãs.
Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos permanece no seu santuário, localizado no cume do
cabeço de S. Brás, a cerca de 3 km de Freixo de Espada à Cinta e que, por ocasião da sua
festividade, visita a vila, percorrendo as principais ruas, em procissão. No último dia das
festividades regressa ao seu santuário onde são celebrados os rituais religiosos de forma
simples e humilde, uma vez que o espaço e a sua envolvente não permitem a
grandiosidade desejada.
Não sabendo ao certo a veracidade dos factos lendários abordados, a presente
dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura propõe a revitalização do Santuário
de Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos de modo a que proporcione aos seus devotos
condições para a adoração e realização dos ritos religiosos e, assim, propor que a Senhora
dos Montes Ermos integre a Irmandade das 7 virgens.
Since the reign of D. João IV, the image of the Holy Mary under its different epithets, has been adored until today. Such is the devotion of the Holy Mary that, according to Trásos-Montes legend, there are seven chapels allusive to Jesus’s Mother, located on top of the mountains in the Trás-os-Montes region, and each Virgin in each chapels is able to communicate with each other every morning. In “Freixo de Espada à Cinta”, a village in Trás-os-Montes also devoted to the Holy Mary, doesn’t agree with the legend and affirme that “Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos” is one of the seven sisters of the legend. Therefore, in “Freixo de Espada à Cinta” is belived that, in one morning when preparing the chapel of “Senhora dos Montes Ermos”, dirt was found in the dress of the image, thus supposing its jorney to visit her hermitages sisters. “Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos” remains in its sanctuary, located on “S. Brás’s” montain, about 3 km from “Freixo de Espada à Cinta” and when occurs the festivities in “Freixo de Espada à Cinta”, the image goes around the village, and its main streets in procession. On the last day of the festivities, the image returns to the sanctuary, where religious rituals take place in a more simple and humble way, due to the small space that the chapel offers and its not possible to have major celebrations there, as much as they would like to have. We don’t know exactly how much of this is true or not about the facts, however, this dissertation of Master’s Degree in Architecture proposes the revitalization of the Sanctuary of “Nossa Senhora dos Montes Ermos” with the main purpose to provide to all of the devotees all the conditions to worship and have all of the religious rites and provide “Senhora dos Montes Ermos” to be once more part of the sisterhood of the 7 virgins.
