Por altura da Quaresma, existe um Grupo de Homens que se junta e parte para uma peregrinação, à volta na ilha Terceira, rezando por si e pelos outros.... Enfim, rezando por todo o Mundo.... Na realidade estes Ranchos de Romeiros, formados por Homend de Fé, "põem" toda a ilha ( e também várias outras ilhas) a rezar. Os Ranchos são constituídos por Homens de todas as idades, profissões e classes sociais, que se tratam por "Irmãos" e que agem entre eles como Irmãos de facto.
Nos meses antes da Romaria, estes grupos de Homens reunem-se várias vezes por semana, para preparar a sua Romaria.
Voltaram a sair, depois de mais de um século de inatividade, as romarias quaresmais da ilha Terceira. Constituída, no primeiro ano (2007), por 23 homens, os mesmos tiveram vários dias de preparação para fazerem esta volta à ilha a rezarem e a meditarem por todos nós. Os romeiros na ilha Terceira foi uma tradição que se extinguiu no século XIX, ressurgindo sob a orientação do Padre Dolores, um Mariense, reitor do Santuário da Conceição em Angra, a partir de um grupo de pessoas interessadas que já tinham participado em romarias em São Miguel.
A orientação da romaria terceirense é a mesma que a diocese aprovou para os de S. Miguel, pelo que a indumentária, (lenço, xaile e dois terços: um para colocar ao pescoço e outro para levar na mão), bordão, ‘sovadeira’ ou “cevadeira”, cânticos e orações são iguais. A diferença reside na pernoita dos irmãos romeiros que não será feita em casas particulares, como acontece na ilha do arcanjo, mas sim nas casas de romeiros que ainda existem ou em casas de povo e salões paroquiais.
No Porto Judeu existiu junto à ermida de Nossa senhora da esperança uma casa de romeiros que foi legada em testamento por D. Isabel de Gouveia em 1650. Daqui se depreende a antiguidade desta tradição nesta ilha de Jesus.
Depois de uma volta à ilha com entrada em todas as ermidas, feita no sentido dos ponteiros do relógio, os romeiros regressam ao santuário da Conceição. Até ao ano de 2014, realizaram-se oiro Romarias na ilha Terceira.
De preferência num local afastado da população ou um sítio propício (conventos etc) os irmãos romeiros são convidados a refletir sobre uma temática que foi previamente lançada. Geralmente a temática que a igreja escolhe nesse ano (por ex: ano da família, ano do jubileu etc).
No entanto com a partilha de experiencias os irmãos vão partilhando vivencias próprias e refletido em conjunto.
Casa dos Romeiros
Os primeiros registos de romarias na Terceira, ocorrem juntos às Ermidas ou aos pequenos nichos construídos para ali colocar a imagem encontrada: São Roque (São Bento), que poderá ser um dos locais onde se terá realizado as primeiras romarias. Tinham Casa de Romeiros: Senhora da Esperança (Porto Judeu); Santo Serreta), estas 3 últimas tinham também sua Casa de Romeiros – mantendo-se apenas hoje com a mesma configuração a existente em Santa Bárbara – Senhora da Ajuda Amaro (Ribeirinha); Senhora da Ajuda (Santa Bárbara); Santinha do Mato (Cinco Picos); Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe (Agualva) e Nossa Senhora dos Milagres.
Tal como refere o Pe. Alfredo Lucas – em As Ermidas da Ilha Terceira: “ Assim, existiam casa dos romeiros junto das Nossa Senhora dos Remédios, na freguesia das Lajes, e parece que junto da ermida da S. Vicente Ferreira, em S. Mateus. Lembramos ainda que outra casa dos romeiros existiu no lugar da ermida da Santinha do Mato, nos Cinco Picos, devendo referir-se que todas eram de pequenas dimensões, excetuando a das Lajes”.
Registe-se também o facto que também existem, desde há quase cinco séculos Ranchos de Romeiros em S. Miguel e desde há catorze anos, um Rancho de Romeiro na ilha Graciosa. Também existem, em S. Miguel, Romarias, de um dia, cujo Rancho é constituído integralmente por Mulheres.
Existem: na ilha de S. Miguel, actualmente, mais de cinquenta Ranchos de Romeiros. Na Graciosa e na Terceira existe, de momento, sómente um rancho em cada ilha.
Os Romeiros propõem-se visitar, durante a sua Romaria, o maior número possível de Igrejas, Ermidas e Capelas, especialmente as dedicadas a Nossa Senhora.
Num Rancho de Romeiros várias "funções", nomeadamente:
- MESTRE - responsável pelo Rancho
- CONTRA-MESTRE - principal ajudante e substituto do Mestre
- GUIAS - são dois e têm por missão conduzir o rancho pelos caminhos e veredas
tradicionais, "impondo" o ritmo da caminhada evelando pelo cumprimento

das pessoas que se dirigem ao Rancho
- LEMBRADOR DAS ALMAS - romeiro responsável pelas salvas, junto aos cemitérios e
outros lugares ou ocasiões relevantes
- CRUZADINHA - irmão mais novo (geralmente uma criança ou jovem), que vai à frente
do Rancho e que leva a Cruz com Cristo.
- DISPENSEIROS - irmãos responsáveis pela alimentação do Rancho e compra de
géneros e outros produtos, que possam ser necessários

REFLECTION
Lenten pilgrimages of the island of Terceira
At the time of Lent, there is a group of men who joins and part for a pilgrimage around the island of Terceira, praying for yourself and others .... Anyway, praying for the whole world .... In reality these Ranchos the Pilgrims, formed by Homend of Faith, "put" the whole island (and several other islands) to pray. The Ranchos are made by men of all ages, professions and social classes, which are treated as "brothers" and that act between them as brothers indeed.
In the months before the Pilgrimage, these groups of men flock to several times a week to prepare his Pilgrimage.
Turned out , after more than a century of inactivity , the Lenten pilgrimages of the Island. Consists , in the first year (2007 ) , by 23 men , they had several days of preparation to do this around the island to pray and meditate for us all . The pilgrims on Terceira was a tradition that became extinct in the nineteenth century resurgence under the guidance of Father Dolores , a Mariense , rector of the Shrine of the Conception in Angra , from a group of interested people who had participated in festivals in San Miguel .
The orientation of Terceira pilgrimage is the same as that adopted for the Diocese of St. Michael , so the dress ( scarf, shawl and two thirds : one to put around his neck and another to carry in hand ) , catchphrase , ' sovadeira ' or " nosebag " , chants and prayers are equal . The difference lies in the overnight pilgrims brothers who will not be taken in private homes , as the island of the archangel , but in the homes of pilgrims that still exist in homes or people and parish halls .
In Port Jew existed next to the chapel of Our Lady of Hope a house of pilgrims that was bequeathed in his will by Isabel de Gouveia in 1650 . It follows the antiquity of this tradition on this island of Jesus .
After a tour around the island with admission to all the chapels , taken in the direction of clockwise , the pilgrims return to the sanctuary of the Conception . By the year 2014 , there were gold Pilgrimages on Terceira Island .
Preferably in a location away from population or a favorable site (convents etc.) pilgrims brothers are invited to reflect on a theme that was previously released. Usually the theme that the church chooses that year (eg year of the family, the jubilee etc).
However with the experience sharing siblings will share their own experiences and reflected together.
PILGRIMAGES HOUSE
The first records of pilgrimages in the Third , Ermidas to occur together or to small niches built there to put the image found : São Roque ( St. Benedict ) , which may be one of the places where you will have accomplished the first pilgrimages . House Pilgrims had : Lady of Hope ( Port Jew) ; Holy Serreta ) , these last 3 also had his house Pilgrims - keeping just today with the same configuration as the existing Santa Barbara - Lady Help Amaro ( Riverside ) ; lady of Help ( Santa Barbara) ; Santinha Mato ( Five Peaks ), Our Lady of Guadalupe ( Agualva ) and Our lady of Miracles .
As reported by Fr Alfredo Lucas - In The Shrines of Terceira : " So there house for pilgrims along the Our Lady of Remedies , in the parish of Lajes , and it seems that with the hermitage of S. Vicente Ferreira , in S. Matthew . We also recall that another house for pilgrims existed in place of the hermitage of Santinha Mato , the Five Peaks should be noted that all were small , except for the Lajes " .
Also noted that there also exist, for almost five centuries Pilgrims in Ranchos de S. Miguel and from fourteen years ago, one of Palmer Ranch in Graciosa. Also exist in S. Miguel, Pilgrimages, a day whose ranch is composed entirely of women.
There are: the island of São Miguel, now over fifty ranches Pilgrims. Graciosa and Terceira exists at present as few as a ranch on each island.
The Pilgrims intend to visit during his pilgrimage, the largest number of churches, hermitages and chapels, especially dedicated to Our Lady.
