Heritage

Cape Verdeans, even those of Jewish heritage, are culturally and religiously Portuguese Catholics. They observe the church calendar with traditional festas and maintain family altars in their homes. On the altars they place photos in memory of deceased relatives. These personal altars are often arranged with photos in memory of deceased relatives, prayer cards, and other religious artifacts.
