[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Festa in Fajã dos Vimes, Ribeira Seca, S. Jorge island
Hi Marcio, The point about the Hidden (or Crypto-)Jews is that they only practiced their old Jewish customs in secrecy in the privacy of their own homes. Outwardly they went through all the motions of being Catholic (including church attendance, baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc.).

For introductory background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Jews Main article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_Portugal We stopped by the former synagogue in Ponta Delgada on our last visit (fall 2009), but it was all locked up, no one answered the doorbell, and the red paint on the doors was peeling badly. See article that coincidentally appeared a few weeks later, Ponta Delgada synagogue to re-open its doors / It will also house a museum and a Jewish library on its premises: http://ww1.rtp.pt/icmblogs/rtp/news-azores/?k=18-Nov-09---Society-Ponta-Delgada-synagogue-to-re-open-its-doors.rtppost=17185 (text translated into English, video in Portuguese) Text: The synagogue of Ponta Delgada, in São Miguel, is to be restored before reopening as a place of worship. It will also house a museum and a Jewish library on its premises. The city's synagogue was built in 1836 and is one of the oldest in Portugal. Speaking in Ponta Delgada, José Carp, president of the Jewish Community of Lisbon said that there is currently no Jewish museum in Portugal and this will be the first site with this purpose and size. The Jewish Community of Lisbon, who owns the synagogue, has signed an agreement that leases the property to the Ponta Delgada City Council for a period of 99 years. City mayoress Berta Cabral stressed that the synagogue was an important piece of our past, of our culture, of our history and of the history of Ponta Delgada. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

I'm curious what names are in the (alleged) Crypto-Jewish section of the cemetery in Fajã dos Vimes and/or Ribeira Seca, in case any of them are in my family tree on the Jorgense side.

Thanks for the warning on skipping the bull-fighting video. À propos of my earlier inquiry re Fajã dos Vimes/Ribeira Seca, do you know whether there's a Hidden- (Crupto-)Jewish section of the otherwise Catholic cemetery there? Unfortunately, I've lost touch with the person who told me this several years ago, so I'm unable to ask my source further questions.

I never heard of that. I have seen burials of people that weren't catholic, mentioned in the church records, only a few cases. I never seen anything else besides catholic cemeteries in S. Jorge (if they had that section I am not aware) and I lived there 26 years and I been pretty much everywhere in the island.
