In Portugal, Queen Isabel de Castela, wife of King Dom Dinis, built a church in Alenquerque to the Holy Spirit. At the first celebration ever made to the Holy Spirit, they catch the poorest beggar and coronate him as if he was the King. They dress him with an imperial tog and after the celebration, they went on a procession until the palace where it was served a sumptuous lunch. That mobilized the Portuguese Court in such a way that they asked King Dom Dinis the permission to repeat this act everywhere in Portugal. Pay tribute to Divíno became a law, created in Portugal, but established also in the colonies. Even after several centuries, Diamantina preserved the tradition. Every year, one inhabitant offers to be the Emperor of Festa do Divino. He chooses his court and organizes the procession.
