Anthony of Lisbon going from "no-doubt able but seemingly fairly ordinary monk" in life to "incantation to find car keys" in the present day seems like an interesting case study in how folk Catholicism works

The burial of Francisco Suarez, an incredible important Jesuit philosopher. He had a great connection with Spanish mystics like Teresa of Avila. He’s mainly know for metaphysics and philosophy of law. His books on religious metaphysics served as a text book for hundreds of students. I’m more familiar with his philosophical approach to law but I think interesting to mention that he sometimes uses Pseudo-Dionysius’ language like “mystical union” to describe a political community. A brilliant thinker!

Portugal has several significant religious tourist sites, including Christian and Islamic heritage locations. One of the most important is the **Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima**, a major pilgrimage site that attracts millions of visitors annually, especially on May 13th and October 13th, commemorating the apparitions of the Virgin Mary to three shepherd children in 1917. The site includes the **Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary**, the **Chapel of the Apparitions**, and the **Basilica of the Holy Trinity**. In *Lisbon**, the **Jerónimos Monastery* is a stunning example of Manueline architecture and is closely linked to Portugal’s Age of Exploration and religious devotion. Another important Christian site is the *Bom Jesus do Monte Sanctuary* in Braga, famous for its baroque stairway and panoramic views. Regarding *Islamic history**, Portugal has several sites that reflect the Moorish presence during the medieval period. The **Castle of the Moors (Castelo dos Mouros)* in *Sintra* is a well-preserved fortress built during the Muslim rule of the Iberian Peninsula. The **Silves Castle**, in the Algarve, was a key stronghold during the Moorish period and offers insight into Islamic architectural influence. Additionally, the **Mértola Mosque**, which was later converted into a church, retains Islamic architectural elements and serves as a reminder of Portugal’s Islamic past.

If you haven't done any videos on the Sephardic Jews of Iberia it's a pretty interesting story

In Lisbon, you have to go the church of St Roch and St Anthony. The best pastel de nata is next to Pasteis De Belem.

Other than the connection to the Knights Templar, you might want to check out the links to the Fatimites, to the Sabbatai Zvi messianic movement, and, last but not least, to the so-called V Empire interpretation of world history (or the Empire of the Holy Spirit). Let me know whether you’d like to have additional pointers or insights on those topics, I’d be glad to help!

Quinta de Regaleira and the Capucho’s monastery (with meditation chambers)… druid history of Sintra… (the whole town is an absolute gem and initiatic location). Palacio de Monserratte and why was it own by Thomas Cook and who was staying there (it’s been renovated… the gardens and the ruins of the church are mystical)…

Oww please, I would love some content on the Islamic history of Portugal! As a Brazilian who notices how much we inherited from that history, it would be brilliant to have your content on that.

Let's Talk Religion
I'm going to Portugal soon! Hit me with suggestions for things to do and possibly make content about while I'm there (primarily related to the subject of this channel of course, but I'm open to wider recomendations too)!
