Resumo:
This study deals with structural changes associated with religious manifestations, in particular one known as the Folia de São Benedito, held in Silêncio do Matá, a community of Obidos, in Pará. It is shown here that Folia de São Benedito exhibits classic properties of popular Catholicism. However, based on actual observations, it is argued that the changes observed in this particular Folia is not only driven by exogenous factors, but also orquestrated by community members, yielding a connotative application of its original meaning.
