Misericordia de Mourão - please PIP
The Lisbon Holy House of Mercy MHIH (Portuguese: Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa) is a Portuguese charitable organisation that, in modern times, serves also as the national lottery and off-course betting operator. In spite of its historical links to the Catholic Church, it is today a secular legal person in the public administrative interest, that is to say, a private legal person, recognised by the authorities as pursuing non-profit-making objects of public interest. The first of its kind (though many other local Misericórdias were established, throughout Portugal and its overseas colonies), it was established in 1498 by Queen Regent Eleanor of Viseu, as a Brotherhood with the Invocation of Our Lady of Mercy (headquartered in a chapel of the Lisbon Cathedral) comprising "one hundred men of good reputation and sound conscience and honest life" that vowed to support the neediest and to uphold the Fourteen Works of Mercy.
Although a private legal person, the Misericórdia is overseen by the public administration, namely the Minister in charge of the social security system; its Chairman (Provedor), who presides over the Board of Directors, is nominated by the Prime Minister.
PIP, please.

La Santa Casa da Misericórdia a été fondée en 1498. Au Portugal, la Santa Casa da Misericórdia est présente dans tout le pays, notamment à Lisbonne.Le gouvernement portugais a délégué à cette institution le droit et le contrôle exclusif des jeux de hasard.Avant la fondation d'une confrérie ou d'une fraternité particulière au Portugal, il existait déjà le culte populaire de la Vierge Marie, appelée Notre-Dame, en particulier dans les invocations traditionnelles de Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde et de Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde, mais également en tant que saint patron de plusieurs églises. et couvents.C'est en 1498 que la reine D. Leonor de Lencastre, veuve de D. João II et avec le soutien du roi Manuel, décida de fonder une fraternité d'invocation à Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde dans la cathédrale de Lisbonne, avec siège dans la chapelle. de Notre-Dame de la Miséricorde ou de Terra Solta.Plus tard, il serait approuvé par le pape Alexandre VI
