Hospitais espirituais: a presença de templos do vale do amanhecer em Canindé e Juazeiro do Norte

Abstract

I intend to analyse in this article the construction of Vale do Amanhecer (Valley of Dawn) , a religious movement started in 1969, in different poles of Catholic pilgrimages of Ceará. The reflection will be focused on a religious confluence and interaction in a multicultural scenario that, stimulated by a globalized age, promotes encounters and mixtures of different people and cultures gathered by the emergence of more and more demands and which claim for the acquaintance wirh the other, different or similar to uso That is the way I try to investigate the relations established in Canindé and Juazeiro do Norte by "Vale do Amanhecer" adepts for an acquaintance with a Catholic hegemony in the respective contexts.
