Hundreds of motorcyclists joined a priest on Sunday to carry the cross of Christ through Sintra in a roaring Easter procession that has become a tradition in the Portuguese town of Sintra near Lisbon.
Father Avelino Alves led the 19th annual Compasso Pascal Motard, riding with the cross on what he calls the "motorcycle of freedom" from the parish church in Pêro Pinheiro to Sintra's National Palace.
