During this visit we will talk about trees... The kind where you can see your whole family! There is so much to learn and discover in these trees.

We start from the family tree of Fernando Bulhões, better known as Saint Anthony, in order to then build our own. After exploring Fernando Bulhões' family tree, we will learn how to make our own family tree and compare our physical and psychological characteristics with those of our parents and grandparents. Do we want to follow in their footsteps?

Studying our family tree teaches us a lot about who we are. When we look closely we can see that, consciously or unconsciously, families pass on many things from parents to children, including professions, lifestyles, fears, talents and material possessions. This was not the case with Fernando Bulhões, who renounced his father's profession and possessions to follow his own path.
