SUMMARY:

The Brazilian Northeast in the Catholic religious segment is characterized by the emergence
of several characters called blessed. Examples: Father Cícero, Antônio Conselheiro, Father
Ibiapina, Frei Damião, among others, having in common the charismatic gift, morals and the
search for heavenly paradise. The people who followed them saw them as people who had a
great spirituality based on faith, work, fraternal sharing and charity. Such characters were
responsible for major social movements around a utopia, for those fleeing hunger and
drought, in search of a better life on a journey through the “promised land”. This research has
as its object of study the blessed Alagoan named Antônio Fernandes Amorim, since his
appearance, in the Alagoan hinterland, until his pilgrimage in Serra Grande, in the
municipality of Quebrangulo-AL, where the Vila de São Francisco appeared. The research
seeks to understand, in addition to the political and religious persecution that affected him,
how the blessed is part of the messianic-religious movements of the Northeast, as well as his
murder in 1954, and what happened to his spiritual and social projects developed in Vila
Nova de Milfontes. which, currently, seeks to rebuild itself with the administration of
Franciscans in the ideals of its founder, who is revered monthly by pilgrims and pilgrims who
consider him a saint. In order to obtain the necessary data for the production of this study,
both bibliographic researches related to the theme will be carried out, as well as analysis of
documents referring to the historical-social-religious process of the formation of the Village
as a space for sociocultural, political and religious interaction. This documental data
collection procedure will be carried out in public and personal archives, while the
ethnographic research will be carried out in the Vila and surrounding areas. This research
seeks, in addition to analyzing the socio-anthropological process of messianism, to contribute
to a closer look at beatism, some messianic movements in Alagoas and its legacy around
society.
