Résumé:
The objective of this work is to describe and to analyse the Popular Religiosity around the
Priest Ibiapina, taking as general scenario the process that configures him while a Catholic
Saint. Our research looked for identifying images that were built on Priest Ibiapina,
analyzing speaks of the biografes and interviews with believers from the neighbohoods of
Santa Fé (Solânea-PB). We observed convergences and divergences in images the informers have built, but there is a point is common: ali they have him as a saint, or at least recognize his acts which made him a Saint. We took as anaytical categories the ideal tipes of Max Weber of Priest, Wizard and Prophet, the studies of Pierre Bourdieu on the division of the religious work, and the concept of Archertypes of saint elaboreated by Joaquin Wach, besides the idea of saint as defined by the Catolic Church in its Cathecism. One of our main outcomes is that ali representation concerning Ibiapina's life consists in a social construction that interposes the erudite and popular universe.
