Classes On Portugal / Lisang na Portugal

Taking the title from a pioneer early paper in pre-Christian Portuguese reconstructionism by Manuel Francisco Soares do Patronício ( Um Rosto para os Deuses )  and the more recent similar paper Figurar o Panteão: uma interpretação visual das divindades indígenas sob influência romana em Portugal ("Picturing the Pantheon: a visual interpretation of the indigenous deities under Roman influence in Portugal") , I wanted to contribute to an idea of the aesthetic portrayal of the ancient gods of the Gallaecian and Lusitanian peoples from current Portugal and Spanish Galicia, historical region of León and Extremadura.

Today is the 123rd anniversary of the establishment of the Portuguese monarchy. As a kind of memento, here is the scene on it and the early-mid I (1st) Portuguese Republic in the 1952 US-American film "The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima", which (through a Cold War lense) distorted the liberal-jacobin Portuguese republican revolution and its clientelist dominant-party semi-democratic regime into a pioneering bolshevik revolution leading to a "people's democracy" dictatorship, and how I would edit it to be the most accurate possible (aside the random moving of the day of the first apparition from May 13th to May 15th for some reason).

Como uma espécie de recordação, aqui está a cena sobre isso e o início-meado da I (/1.ª) República Portuguesa no filme estado-unidense de 1952  The Miracle of Our Lady of Fatima , o qual (através de umas "lentes" da Guerra Fria) distorce...
