Know the History, Title, and Devotion to Our Lady of Agony
It is conceivable that the devotion to "Our Lady of Anguish" is directly related to the poem that Jacopone de Todi wrote to the Mother of Jesus, in which her agony is connected to the agony of Christ on the Cross. The Feast of the Lady of Agony is celebrated every August 20 (after the feast of Our Lady of the Assumption). The Festival in Viana do Castello called "Romaria d'Agonia" or "The Pilgrimage of Senhora d'Agonía" is one of the most colorful religious feast in Portugal. It is a feast in honor of Our Lady of Agony where it commemorates the Feast Day and the day of the arrival of the Image of Our lady to Viano do Castello. The feast is celebrated throughout the week to give thanks to the graces that the people of Portugal receives through her prayers
