**Auto das Capelas** is a traditional Portuguese religious festival held in Ponte de Lima, in which a theatrical procession reenacts the soul's journey toward salvation, passing through a series of chapels that symbolize stages of penance and redemption. Dating back to the 18th century, it blends drama, music, and devotion and is considered one of Portugal's oldest surviving religious performances
