Bodo or Pêza

The bodos of the Holy Spirit, (sacred meal), instituted by Queen Santa Isabel who in Tomar, over the years have passed to designate Pêza and is the last act of each Festival of Trays (Festa dos Tabuleiros). It happens the day after the Parade of Trays (Monday) and following the tradition (because the Gifts of God - fruits of the land and the flocks - meat, bread and wine - are for everyone), in a way of thanking God, it consists of sharing bread, meat and wine now only with the smallest, the most needy.
