Or devotional of the Holy Angelic Trisagion as a symbolic instrument of power in the manifestations of the Holy Trinity

Abstract

This article proposes a multidisciplinary discussion about the symbolic power present in the Holy Angelic Trisagius, a rite of popular religiosity that integrates the cult of the Holy Trinity, in the missionary area of Santa Catarina de Sena, in the Petrópolis neighborhood, south of Manaus/AM. From a description of the rite based on the devotional, with prayers performed by devotees to the Holy Trinity, the discussion is made of how this process becomes a symbolic instrument of power and communication. The methodology used was field research, using the technique of participant observation. The text is anchored in theoretical premises of various currents of thought, opening a multidisciplinary horizon for the deepening of reflection on popular socio-religious phenomena.
