Sebastianism
Sebastianism is part of the Portuguese mythology and culture. It means waiting for a hero that will save Portugal and lead it to the Fifth Empire, and known as Eu nacional (national Me). There are possible mentions of this hero in the Armageddon of Nostradamus. Fernando Pessoa also wrote about this hero-to-come in his epic A mensagem (The Message) supporting his ideas on predictions and myths.
