After the religious services in honour of Santa Marta have finished, the church bells toll, and the coffins are carried out and towards the nearest cemetery, from where they come back in procession to the starting point, while people chant the psalm "Virxe Santa Marta, estrela do Norte, traemos-che os que viron a morte" (Virgin Saint Martha, star of the North, we bring you those who escaped death". In the case of children, the coffins are always empty, although records state that in the olden times they used to be carried by children. The procession is followed by other penitents who, if they do not wish to lay in a coffin, cover their clothes with white gauze and carry a candle behind the image of the saint that also accompanies the coffins during the profession. Santa Marta holds her right hand aloft as a sign of protection for those who have managed to escape death, and in return the devotees offer her different amounts of money.

Origem e história
La Romería de Santa Marta de Ribarteme es una celebración anclada en el tiempo. Sus raíces se hunden en la Edad Media. Hidalgos regresados de las Cruzadas; monjes de las órdenes religiosas llegados por el Camino de Santiago, o la supremacía que ejercía la archidiócesis de Braga en la zona, pudieron ser caminos de llegada hasta el Valle del Termes, situado en el itinerario sacro, denominado “camiño dos frades”; utilizado, según la tradición, por la reina Santa Isabel de Portugal en su peregrinación a Compostela en 1327 y 1335. Sin embargo, hasta 1700 no tendríamos la primera mención escrita de la Romería.
