Janeiras
As Janeiras (singing the Janeiras) is a Portuguese tradition where groups of people go singing by the streets announcing the birth of Jesus, wishing a happy new year. These groups go door-to-door, asking residents for Christmas leftovers. Nowadays, these 'leftovers' are often given in money. It takes place in January, starting on the 1st and extending until Three kings Days, and can also be prolonged through the whole month in some places. In Freixo, Rancho Folclórico Os Camponeses do Freixo dressed up accordingly and kept the tradition.
