Ermida da Memória



PT
“A Ermida da Memória foi mandada construir em 1182 por D. Fuas Roupinho, um nobre desta região, como agradecimento por Nossa Senhora ter atendido às suas preces, salvando-o de uma queda mortal. Ao perseguir um veado durante uma caçada, o cavalo de Dom Fuas quase se precipitou no mar detendo-se no último instante.  A capela de proporções modestas com telhado piramidal situa-se no extremo do promontório, ao lado da rocha onde persiste a marca da ferradura do cavalo, que testemunha o milagre. No interior, painéis de azulejos figurativos azuis e brancos representam a aparição de Nossa Senhora enquanto o veado se precipita no vazio. A capela possui ainda um piso inferiorque é a própria caverna onde terá sido encontrada a imagem original da Virgem a quem D. Fuas pediu auxílio. ”

“Construction of the Hermitage of Memória was commissioned in 1182 by D. Fuas Roupinho - a nobleman from this region who wanted to thank Our Lady for having answered his prayers, when she saved him from a mortal fall. While hunting a deer his horse almost leapt from a cliff into the sea, but stopped at the last moment.  The small-scale chapel with a pyramidal roof is located on the edge of the promontory, next to the rock that still bears a mark of the horse’s hoofprint - in testimony to the miracle. The interior of the chapel has a set of figurative blue and white azulejo tile panels depicting the apparition of Our Lady as the deer almost leapt into the void. The Chapel also contains a basement that corresponds to the cavern where the original image of the Virgin Mary appeared, from whom D. Fuas requested aid. ”
