Every year, on  February 3rd, there's a religious festival in honor of São Brás at the chapel of São Dinis in Vila Real, where those who make or fulfil a promise walk backwards around the cemetery "with their mouth shut so as to be safe from evil eye". This tradition is connected to the one of Santa Luzia when, on December 13th, the girls buy Pitos and offer them to the boys. On February 3rd  the boys, in return, offer Ganchas to the girls, as if "a «gancho» (hook) to catch those girls willing to date".
