More than 1500 clay figures, modeled by hand according to the historical descriptions of what was the Procession of the Body of God in Lisbon of D. João V, in the century. XVIII. The set was presented to the public for the first time in 1948 and the motivations of its promoter, the successful entrepreneur Diamantino Tojal, who is notable for being particularly religious, are not completely known. But the Bairro da Graça, in Lisbon, was his neighborhood and the production of this monumental piece was, for four years, an aggregator of outstanding figures of the Lisbon life of that time. A guided tour by Rosa Maria Tojal, niece of Diamantino Tojal, and by art historian António Camões Gouveia.
