Paróquia N. S. da Piedade

Although this comforting support from the Mother has been given to her children since the early days of the Church, devotion to Our Lady of Piety took shape centuries later, in Portugal.
Thus, some historians claim that at the beginning of the 12th century there was already a lot of veneration for Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Merceana. According to tradition, the Virgin appeared on a tree trunk.
