Read the date from the square
Largo do Livramento, Estoril · View from the public square. Continuous chapel access is not guaranteed; respect worship and local activities.
The chapel originated in the seventeenth century; 1757 above the door records rebuilding after the earthquake. Formerly connected to Quinta da Samarra, it was later donated to the Patriarchate. A cross and a fountain from 1929 connect worship and daily life in the square.

雷在地中，复。
Thunder within the earth: Fu.
Fu does not require restoring the past exactly. The date 1757 marks a new beginning; everyday use gives it continuity.
Rebuilding has a date; recovering everyday life rarely has such a precise endpoint.
Fetching water, praying and meeting people keep a place needed over time.
People and uses change. Fu allows new lives into an old space.
