My mother tells me that the term "entronizacao" is the dedication of the house
to the Sacred Heart i.e. the Sacred Heart of Jesus was made the "king" of the
house on that particular date when the house was first purchased by my
grandmother.
The litany of NS de Piedade was held in October, preceded by the novena as
stated. The litany of Sacred Heart ("Cor Iesu ..") used to be held on the 3rd
of May at the Melo's house (roughly coincides with Filosha's birthday), and on
the 26th May at our house. During the course of years, the dates became
moveable
somewhat, and I remember a terrible storm circa 3rd May 1967, on the way to the
Melo's.
Incidentally, the litany to the Sacred Heart, in front of the statue that
stands
halfway between the Church and the cemetery in Loutolim, used to be sung on
25th
May every year until as recent as 5 years ago, when the tradition was
discontinued due to lack of participation, as my mother informs me.
