The devotion of Our Lady of Hope dates back many centuries. It became more intense at the time of discovery through the faith of the navigators that, under the protection of the VirginMary, ventured out on seas never before navigated upon. In Belmonte, the birthplace of  Pedro Alvares Cabral, is venerated Our Lady of Hope. The image, weighing 90kg (198.5 lbs), is carved in stone, has the infant Jesus on her lap, looking  to a dove sitting on the right arm of...
