Documentação da festa de São Félix e Cantalice na cidade de São Félix–Ba

Abstract

This work aims to document the feast of St. Felix of Cantalice, patron of the city of São Félix, Recôncavo Baiano. Our study considers the above-mentioned cultural/religious manifestation as intangible heritage of the community sanfelixta, although she has not yet been channeled as such guardianship bodies responsible for the registration of this type of heritage. The analysis of printed sources available on Public File Municipal de São Félix allowed us to understand and document the changes in programming and on the date of completion of the patronal feast of São Félix from 1935 until the publication of Municipal law no 281, of 10 December 2013, which made the day may 18 holiday religious slant. Since then the party began to be regularly celebrated in the city as the Catholic liturgical calendar. In 2018, with the purpose of documenting and contribute to the future of this party record as intangible heritage of the municipality of São Félix, observe, we describe and photographed all the acts that make up your schedule: novena (9 to 17 May), dawn, solemn mass and procession (the day may 18).
