The present article aims at doing a social and economic characterization of a number of participants of the celebration the Senhora da Peneda that occurs between the 31st of August and 8th of September in the mountain village of Gavieira, in the council of Arcos de Valdevez, district of Viana do Castelo, north‑west of Portugal. Simultaneously we intend to publicize the motivations that lay behind a ritual practice, that is the execution of the novena. This ritual assumes a crucial importance during the popular festival and works as a spiritual preparation for it.Downloads
