A Festa do Santuário Nossa Senhora Aparecida no bairro Bugio como reflexo da relação da história do bairro com a paróquia

Abstract

This work analyzes the relationship between the Bugio neighborhood and the Nossa Senhora Aparecida Sanctuary based on the religious festival promoted by the parish over more than forty years of festivities. The research seeks to understand how the parish has influenced the dynamics of the neighborhood's daily life since the beginning of the construction of the housing complex, contributing to the social, cultural, and community organization of the region. The religious festivals reveal by highlighting the parish's capacity for mobilization, which goes beyond the strictly religious sphere and impacts the social life of the neighborhood located in the northern zone of Aracaju. In addition, the study observes how these celebrations accompany the process of urban growth, dialoguing with the transformations that have occurred over time, from the formation of the housing complex to its consolidation as an expanding neighborhood. The research is based on documentary, bibliographic, and oral sources, allowing an analysis that articulates local and religious history.
