Her weathered finger traced the outline of the Virgin Mary, depicted in vibrant ceramic tiles. The Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo Azulejo, a small oasis of peace amidst the bustling city. It serves as a poignant reminder of Lisbon’s enduring faith and the captivating allure of azulejo art. This art form, with its Moorish roots, flourished under Portuguese patronage. The Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo Azulejo, with its depiction of Mary, holds a special place in the hearts of the Lisboetas. She is Our Lady of Mount Carmel, believed to offer protection to those who wear her scapular, a symbol of devotion. This belief stems from an apparition of Mary to Saint Simon Stock, an English Carmelite who prayed for an end to the persecution of his order.
