The Holy Ghost Discovers Florida |
||
|
|
The short history of the Holy Spirit Feasts in Florida is presented as The Holy Ghost Discovers Florida in a segment of the book IV CONGRESSO INTERNACIONAL SOBRE AS FESTAS DO ESPÍRITO SANTO by Tony Goulart, 2010 |
Click image for extracts of the
book
|
|
The extracts include the work on "The Holy Ghost Discovers Florida", a list of all the works by other participants, including the work by Pedro Folgado on "Alenquer, “Terra do Espírito Santo”". In the index you will see representation from multiple global Portuguese communities where the Espírito Santo is celebrated, and numerous communities in the United States, with greater concentration in the Northeast and in California. "The Holy Ghost discovers Florida" work begins with a brief description of the geography of Florida and the demographics of the Portuguese communities holding these Feasts. Such background information was helpful for non-Floridians to contextualize the events. The work elaborates on the Feasts in each community, with focus on the sponsoring community, P.A.S.A. Gratitute to the coordinators of the IV International Conference on the Holy Spirit Feasts, Tony Goulart and Jose Rodrigues, for invitation to participate in the conference. The work is dedicated to everyone involved with the Holy Spirit Feasts in Florida, who provided feedback and information assembled in this work. |
