Chapel of Saint Raymond of O Paraño

Chapel of Saint Raymond of O Paraño

Simple chapel heir of an ancient tradition in honour to Saint Raymond.
The temple we can see is from the 19th century, when the existing old temple from the Rego da Forxa is moved, dating from at least the 18th century. The temple belongs to an old foundation, where the founder gives it in inheritance to their first-born child, who must take control, maintain it and name a chaplain. This long tradition is still alive.

St Raymond of O Paraño was probably the most celebrated pilgrimage in As Pontes, and until very recently auctions were held to pay for the expenses of the festivity.
