Serrote do Diamante: a espacialização da fpe em Padre Cícero no sítio Coxá em Aurora (Ceará, 2012-2021).

Abstract

This work aims to chronicle the so-called popular Catholic practices that led to the emergence of a sacred space in honor of Father Cícero Romão Batista, on an elevation, known as Serrote do Diamante, located in the rural area of ​​the city of Aurora, state from Ceara, Brazil. In order to problematize the trajectory and construction of the holiness of that priest, we dialogue with authors who worked with the writing of his biography and the problematization of his character, such as Ralp Della Cava (2014), Lira Neto (2009), Antônio Mendes C. Braga ( 2007), Luitgarde C. Barros (1988), Francisco Régis L. Ramos (2014) and Rui Facó (1976). With the help of Oral History practices, discussed by specialists such as Alessandro Portelli (1997), Verena Alberti (2004) and Lucília Delgado (2010), we conducted the interviews for the research. From a social history of culture, based on studies by Sandra Pesavento (2014) and Perter Burke (2012), and country practices linked to the manipulation of the sacred, historicized in works such as those by Edianne dos Santos Nobre (2010), Michelle Ferreira Maia (2010) and Emerson José F. Sousa (2021) we seek to discuss how the aforementioned sanctuary came about, in a time frame between 2012 and 2021. We also analyze cultural and social factors of local and regional daily life, which are constituents of the practices we call the spatialization of faith.
