Abstract

In this article, we seek to analyze the use of traditional signs during the 12th Christ is Our Show Catholic Music Festival (FMC), an event linked to Catholic charismatism. We conducted participant observation in the 2019 edition, collected documents in the main informational media and conducted an interview with the FMC presenter. We perceive the attempt to praise the tradition, by means of the resignification of practices, rituals and symbologies presented as holy and purified from contemporary cultural elements. Analyzing the FMC allows speculating on the rich diversity of expressions that composes Brazilian Catholicism, elements of a “mosaic” that is intended as “one”, but distant from a hegemonic model.

Keywords: Tradition. Modernity. Catholic Church. Charismatism.
