Acesso em:.2318-1346https://repositorio.ufpa.br/handle/2011/12116This paper presents firstly the Christian religion in its several nuances, in which the Catholicism favors the connection between the Catholic Church and the worship to Catholic and popular saints. In this context, the work aims at showing the religiosity as a way of sustaining Christian and doctrinaire values from the Catholicism and the rigorousness in the issues of holiness. The objective of this work is to present the worship to saints as one of the main elements of the Christianity, since the devotion to hundreds of divinities from the Catholic pantheon is traditionally understood as one of the pillars of this religion, especially for its doctrinaire and identity aspects. For this context, a bibliographical study was accomplished, and it has as basis some authors, such as André Vauchez (1987), Bourdieu (1998, Durkheim (1982), Lourdes dos Santos (2000), Machado (1995), Romualdo Rodrigo (1988) among others.Acesso AbertoCultoDevoçãoSantosSantidadeReligiãoWorshipDevotionHolinessReligionArtigo de Periódicohttp://dx.doi.org/10.18542/nra.v1i2.6289
