Feast of the Divine
The Feast of the Holy Spirit was born in Portugal from a real dream. It
is said that Queen Elizabeth (1271-1336) and is spending the night with her
husband, King D. Diniz, in the village of Swindon, had a dream. In it, God
informed him that more would be happy if it were built in that area, a church
to the Holy Spirit. Upon waking, Queen Elizabeth sent asking judges of the
Village to send you four masons and six helpers, and ordered them to fincassem
the foundations in one place. Once there, however, found the foundations
already started though someone else had made them. The queen saw that the
hand of God and prayed thanking the miracle. It is said also that the workers
received roses queen, as payment, and they turned into money.
