First year university student iniciation ceremony in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island in The Azores, Portugal, Europe.

---

Unusual iniciation ceremony for new student nurses in Ponta Delgada, the capital of Sao Miguel island in The Azores. All in fancy dress, surrounded by mature students in uniform, they have to eat a slice of raw potato which is handed out by the student in the bishop's mitre and then swim fully clothed in the fountain in front of the town hall.
