The Irmandade
Editions
In the year 2000, and part of the celebrations of the tricentennial of the first Procession in honor of Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres, the Irmandade organized an Icono-Bibliographic Exhibition, in the old kitchen of the Esperança Convent, in Ponta Delgada. To complement the mentioned exhibition, a catalog was published that listed the works of art existing in that convent, related to the Cult of Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres, and all the bibliography referring to it in the Public Library and Regional Archive of Ponta Delgada.
To mark the same occasion, the Irmandade edited the book “O Convento de Nossa Senhora da Esperança – Imagem e Culto do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres – colectânea de artigos“, by Hugo Moreira and which ended up being the only book published by that distinguished Azorean historian, already, deceased.
These two publications can be purchased at the bazarr of Senhor Santo Cristo, during the entire period of the festivities, at the price of 10.00 € and 7.50 €, respectively, or ordered through this website, using the contact page.
In this circumstance, it will be added, to the indicated values, the postal shipping costs determined, case by case, depending on the addressees.
In 2010, and to mark the 310th anniversary of the Cult of Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres, the Irmandade published a commemorative stamp, in a philatelic initiative that was appreciated by collectors and the general public. The purchase of the few available units of the referred commemorative stamp can be made through this website, using the contact page. The Irmandade accepts donations of more than 1.50 € for the sale of each commemorative stamp, in addition to the costs of postal dispatch.
Since 2009, the Irmandade has been publishing, every year, the Guide to the Irmandade do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres for the press, containing different information for news professionals, for informative coverage of the festivities. It is an edition reserved for the press agents with free distribution.
