My name is Melynda. I am a Portuguese-American and my family comes from the Azores.My artifact is the Holy Spirit Crown of Queen St. Isabel of Portugal. It can be found at the Holy Ghost Society in West Warwick.
"The crown is used as a part of a weekend long Labor Day celebration in West Warwick, Feast of the Holy Spirit. The Crown, 'Coroa', consists of three individual pieces. The Scepter of the Crown is accented by a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit whose love was so manifested in Queen St. Isabel’s life. The Crown has a double significance: first, it represents the supreme dominion of the Holy Spirit and second, the Crown represents the royalty of Queen St. Isabel. The Plate, serving as a stand for the Crown and the Scepter, represents the people." United Portuguese S.E.S. Hall, San Diego, CA
