      The Império da Caridade (Carity Empire), located in the parish of Santa Cruz, Praia da Vitória, Terceira Island, is located in Largo das Figueiras do Paim and dates back to the second quarter of the 20th century, 1941.

      This brotherhood celebrates a festival in honor of the Holy Spirit on the last Sunday of September.

      On this Sunday, the Holy Spirit procession takes place to the parish church of Santa Cruz, where a festive Mass is celebrated, followed by a coronation.

      After the coronation, the procession heads to the Império (Carity Empire), where bread and wine, blessed by the parish priest, are distributed to all those present, as well as to the brothers who are not present at the time.

      The festival continues until the following Thursday, and during these days, various cultural activities can be attended.

      The festive program usually concludes with a bullfight on the following Saturday.
