Places
of worship are ever-changing, living entities. A cathedral stands out due to
its visual and symbolic presence, distinguishing itself as a defining element
of its environs over the course of History and impacting the development and
growth of the city in which it stands.

DYNAMICS OF THE SACRED SPACES

The place of worship as it stands today is a product of a 20th-century reading, which conceals myriad layers constructed over the course of time. The Exhibition centres itself in the mobility of the images, subjected to the transformations of liturgy, of architecture and of the urban space. Places of worship are ever-changing, living entities. The project centres itself on the mobility of the images, subjected to the transformations of liturgy, of architecture and of the urban space. The Porto Cathedral is viewed as a centripetal and centrifugal entity of the various types of worship that defined the history of Porto. The narrative is constructed – not by the totality of the Cathedral's heritage assets – but, instead, through the images that circulated within the premises of the Porto Cathedral and between It and the city itself.

Proposal for a representation of the missing altarpieces located in the Cathedral pillars. (2019) by Daniel CardeiraFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

Until the 18th century, the pillars of the Cathedral were occupied by altarpieces dedicated to different saints.

After 1717, this dense apparatus was sacrificed to a more fluid and communicating church space; the altarpieces established on the pillars disappeared and new ones were made. This church is Romanesque in structure and has been continuously transformed.

SAINT
JAMES |   FEAST
DAY – 25TH OF JULY

The 16th century image of Saint James the Pilgrim (Portuguese: São Tiago Peregrino) is a testimony of the importance and the popularity of the Jacobean cultus in Portugal. The sculpture is in accordance with the iconography of the pilgrim and possesses the recognisable attributes of a wayfarer: the cloak, the walking staff, the pouch and the hat with a scallop shell.

The city of Porto was and remains a key point in the itinerary of pilgrims on their way to Saint James of Compostela (Portuguese: Santiago de Compostela).

To this day, pilgrims stamp, in the Cathedral, the “Compostela” , a credit document that proves the passage through the reference points of the path and gives them the quality of pilgrims to the tomb of St. James of Compostela.

The protective nature of the scallop shell converted it into the main attribute of this saint and it remained as a symbol of the Jacobean tradition – pilgrims used it to drink water.

The sculpture is barefooted and on its hands rests a book, attributes that pertain to Saint James' condition of Apostle.

DAY – 9TH OF FEBRUARY

A virgin martyr of Alexandria, Saint Apollonia (Portuguese: Santa Apolónia) was tortured and had the entirety of her teeth violently pulled off, a detail that explains her main attribute – tongs holding a tooth between them.

For this reason, she is regarded as the patroness of dentists and is evoked against all manner of maladies concerning teeth.

Image of Saint Pantaleon, polycromed and gilded wood, 18th century. (2018) by Luís BravoFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

SAINT
PANTALEON |   FEAST
DAY – 27TH OF JULY

The worshipping of Saint Pantaleon's (Portuguese: São Pantaleão) in Porto began in mid-15th century. A 4th-century martyr, Saint Pantaleon, physician to Emperor Galerius, was subjected to a multitude of torture and ultimately beheaded for refusing to renounce his Christian faith. This saint is regarded by physicians and midwives as their patron saint and he is called upon by believers to relieve them of headaches. 

Saint Pantaleon was acclaimed as patron saint of the city in 1499 and part of his relics are transported from the Saint Peter's Church in Miragaia to the Cathedral.

Arménia Street, Miragaia, Porto. (2018) by Pedro Augusto AlmeidaFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

According to the local legend, the saint's relics were brought by a group of Byzantium-born Armenians to the city, having arrived in Miragaia during a period in which an epidemic ravaged it – and one that was seemingly and miraculously eradicated by the arrival of the relics.

The place's toponymy still preservs the memory of said legend.

OUR
LADY OF VANDOMA |  FEAST DAY – 11TH
OF OCTOBER

Our Lady of Vandoma (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora da Vandoma) is the current patron saint of the city of Porto. The sculpture, carved from a block of limestone and standing at 187 cm in height, portrays Our Lady with Baby Jesus, a widespread typology during the Middle Ages. According to the local legend, the image was brought from Vendôme (France) in the 10th century by a regiment of Gascons that engaged the Moors in battle on that spot. The toponym Vandoma (a parish of Paredes) is, however, found in sources that predate the 10th century – which lead historians to speculate that the association between the Vandoma - Vendôme toponyms was created at a later period.

The formal characteristics of this image are incompatible with those present in images from the 10th century.

The child holds a goldfinch in his hand, symbol of the blood shed by Christ on the cross.

After the demolition of the Gate of Vandoma's Archway, in 1855, the image was stored in Saint Vincent Chapel (Portuguese: Capela de São Vicente) and, in 1968, it was moved to the location in which it now stands.

OUR
LADY OF THE BATTLE

According to tradition, this image was brought to the city along with the image of Our Lady of Vandoma. The "Of the Battle" title was bestowed upon this image precisely because it aided, by miraculous means, the Christian soldiers in defeating the Moorish forces during that skirmish.

At the turn of the 16th century, a chapel was built by the Cimo de Vila Gate, where this miraculous image was venerated. Up until the 17th century it was frequently attired with clothes; however, during the 1600s, the image was refurbished with new garments – this time carved and painted in the stone itself – and it has remained as such up until the present day.

In 1792, in the wake of the damages caused by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, the chapel was demolished, and another was built near the spot where the original one once stood.

OUR
LADY OF THE BRAMBLE |  FEAST
DAY – FIRST SUNDAY OF JUNE

This
image of Our Lady of the Bramble (Portuguese: Nossa Senhora da Silva) is regarded as having miraculous powers –
so much so that the very material of which it is made is considered a relic –
and it is still the subject of frequent offerings and ex-votos (offerings in fulfilment of vows). A privileged intercessor,
she guides the souls and removes the thorn-filled brambles from the path they
tread to the Great Beyond.The designation "Our Lady of the
Bramble" stems from a legend that states that this image appeared amidst
brambles, in King Afonso I of Portugal's time, during the Iberian Reconquista (lit.
"Reconquest") period. In
the 16th century, the Porto's smiths' guild – one of the city's most prestigious metiers – chose this saint as
its patroness.

This image was probably dressed until the 17th century, when the sculpture was transformed;

its facial features and its garments were altered and it has remained as such until today.

Amongst the most famous worshippers of this image we find Mathilda of Savoy, consort of Afonso I and Queen of Portugal and princess Mafalda, daughter of King Sancho I – the latter of whom bequeathed various personal articles of clothing and jewellery to the Cathedral.

The canvas – containing a painting by the Porto-born artist António José da Costa – over the altar was only unfurled during the Lent and depicts princess Mafalda's devotion to the miraculous image.

The earliest news concerning the image of Our Lady of the Bramble dates back to the mid-16th century. The documental sources describe the existence of two altars of the same invocation: one in a chapel of the Cathedral's cloister and another in an altar by the second pillar on the right-hand side of the church's entrance. The image will remain in this place until 1722, when it is transferred to the altarpiece where it stands today, executed between 1719 and 1720.

BLAISE |  FEAST
DAY – 3RD OF FEBRUARY

Saint Blaise (Portuguese: São Brás), one of the most venerated saints in all of Christendom,
died in 316 A.D., amidst the intense efforts to prosecute Christians led by
Emperor Diocletian. The Healer Saint, legends attribute to him myriad miracles.

The miracle of the saving the life of a child who had a fishbone stuck in the throat stands out.

Hence, Saint Blaise is called upon to intercede in cases of throat-related illnesses.

Image of Saint Lucia, polycromed and gilded wood, 18th century. (2018) by Luís BravoFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

SAINT
LUCIA |  FEAST
DAY – 13TH OF DECEMBER

Saint Lucia of Syracuse (Portuguese: Santa Luzia de Siracusa) was a 4th-century
martyr, a saint that is still prominently worshipped today. Because she refused
to renounce her faith in Christ and because she was viciously tortured, she
holds in her hands a palm leaf, the symbol of martyrdom, and sometimes a sword
– a symbol that harkens back to the manner in which she was executed –, a book –
a token of her wisdom –, and a small
dish with eyes, her foremost attribute.

Since her name, Luzia, means "the shining one" or "the one that irradiates light" (from the Latin word "lux", "light")...

it was associated early on with sight and, consequently, with the power to heal afflictions concerning the eyes.

In the seventeenth century, an image of Saint Luzia was on the Saint Peter's Chapel, accompanied by Saint Apollonia of Alexandria. An altar dedicated to Saint Luzia is referred to in the eighteenth-century documental sources, situated on the aisle on the right-hand side of the church's entrance. The young martyr was along side the images of Saint Anthony and Saint Rodrigo, and their feast was in charge of the masons' brotherhood.These church's aisles altars were removed in the twentieth century during the National Monuments Restoration Campaign, and the image was moved to the altar of Our Lady of the Brable, where it is located today.

Image of Saint Anne, polycromed and gilded wood, 18th century. (2018) by Luís BravoFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

SAINT
ANNE |  FEAST DAY – 26TH
OF JULY

Mother to the Virgin Mary, Saint Anne (Portuguese: Santa Ana) is a saint that has been the subject of immense
veneration since the Middle Ages. The devotion to the saint is related to maternity, for
she is regarded as being the protector of parturient women, new-borns and,
along with Saint Joachim, she is also the patroness of grandparents. The altarpiece is completed with the depiction of the
"Flight into Egypt" episode, a theme that reiterates the family
values present in this altarpiece.

Extolled as the model of perfect wife, her role as mother and educator to the Virgin Mary popularised her portrayal as Saint Anne the Mistress.

The sweet, tenderly expression of her gaze permeates her worshippers and entices any and all observers to attentively contemplate the image.

Plan of the Cathedral indicating the different locations of Saint Anne's image. (2018) by Francisco CostaFaculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto

The documental sources place a chapel dedicated to Saint Anne within the cloister in the 16th century. The present altarpiece should have been executed after 1717, having been gilded, painted and the image again coated with color between 1720 and 1725.

SAINT
GONÇALO |   FEAST
DAY – 10TH OF JANUARY

Saint Gonçalo of Amarante (Portuguese: São Gonçalo de Amarante) is one of the most popular blessed Portuguese individuals, having been beatified in 1561. Patron saint of travellers, of single women, of marriages at a late age, of clandestine, difficult or impossible romantic relationships, Saint Gonçalo is viewed as the protector of matters concerning love. The image of Saint Gonçalo was carved out of polychromed wood.  

The construction of the bridge of Amarante is attributed to him, which bestows upon Saint Gonçalo the role of protector of paths and the association between the saint and the pilgrimages to Saint James of Compostela.

In the mid-sixteenth century we found references to the existence of an altar dedicated to the Holy miracle worker, location unknown. In the seventeenth century it is possible to specify its location: in the second pillar on the left-hand side of the church's entrance. The image is then moved in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
