Cantai todos irmãos ao pé da cruz este hino ao Senhor do Bonfim : os primeiros anos de formação da Irmandade do Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim de Laranjeiras/SE (1837-1893)

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to analyze the first years of formation of the Irmandade do Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim de Laranjeiras/SE, between the years 1837 and 1893, based on the experience of some of its members. The study comprises the period that goes from the approval of the term of commitment of the brotherhood through the royal and ecclesiastical powers until the ascension to the providership by Canon Eliziário Vieira Muniz Telles. The study sought to see beyond the devotional field, without forgetting it, but in the foreground the social practices exercised and offered by the entity in an Orange tree that was in constant growth as the Province of Sergipe Del Rey experienced the peak of sugar production. In this way, the historical subjects who will form the religious scenario of the aforementioned brotherhood are part of the local aristocracy from the sugar plantations and the urban middle classes. However, it appears that although the present work has been fruitful, there are still some gaps in important moments of the institution that need to be better deepened. Other topics were also addressed, but without claiming to understand them in full. The sources consulted, especially those available by Canon Philadelpho Jhonatas de Oliveira and those from the Public Archive of the State of Sergipe - APES, gave the dimension of the works developed by the brotherhood in that context. As a theoretical contribution, the reflections of Michel de Certeau (1925-1986) and Cornelius Castoriadis (1982) were used.
