The tradition of Grape Treading and the Blessing of the First Must once again marked the morning of the Harvest in Palmela. The event celebrates the start of the harvest in the region, bringing together participants and spectators in a cultural manifestation rooted in local history. The ceremony combines the festive aspect of wine tradition with its religious significance, through the blessing of the first must.

Palmela is known for its wine heritage, and this celebration represents an important moment in the annual calendar of the municipality. Grape Treading, practiced for centuries, symbolizes the beginning of the wine production process in the region.

The event brings together the local community, producers and visitors in a demonstration of traditions that continue to be passed down from generation to generation in the context of Portuguese viticulture.

Church: Patriarch of Lisbon challenges Catholic communities to promote unity and combat indifference

The Patriarch of Lisbon, D. Rui Valério, presided over the closing Mass of the 52nd National Encounter of Fraternal Gatherings at the Sanctuary of Fatima, calling for a missionary attitude and service to unity, warning that "it is not enough to be together to be united" and that Christian unity comes from Christ, not just from sympathy or friendship. In his homily before thousands of people at Cova da Iria, the prelate criticized "activism" without true service, defended that Christians cannot live "closed in their individual salvation" and called for a fraternity that combats indifference, with the courage to speak truth to "save the relationship, never destroy the other." D. Rui Valério also urged Christians not to be afraid to go out on mission, starting with "concrete faces" such as young people who have lost the meaning of life, families that need support, or people distant from faith.

Europeans prefer to face heat waves with air conditioning despite CO2 emissions

A recent study reveals that the majority of Europeans prefer to use air conditioning to face heat waves, even knowing the associated environmental impact. In all countries analyzed, except Italy, between 41% and 48% of respondents give priority to air conditioning to reduce the effects of extreme temperatures, while only 20% to 33% opt to prioritize reducing CO2 emissions. This preference reflects a dilemma between immediate comfort and long-term environmental concerns in Europe.
