Resumo: |
Our study focuses on the religious movement which arose in the Serra of Breus in Pernambuco, beginning in 1976, headed by Cícero José de Farias, known as My King . Farias stated that he had received from the Biblical God three missions: the first in 1932, the second in 1955, and the definitive one in 1988. In this one, God established that Cicero s mission would be to found the new earthly paradise. Such a mission would not transferable and Cícero, who from that moment on, would be known as Sadabe Alexandri de Farias and would receive as a reward, the gift of immortality. In 1999, when supposedly at the age of 115, Cícero died, the community of his disciples underwent a severe trial. Out of this situation, sprang our research problem: to understand how the disciples of My King lived and reconciled themselves to the fact of sickness and death since they believed their leader to have been immortal. This objective was pursued, stating from an analysis from the collected data from interviews with members of the remaining community as well as from documents written by Cícero and by applying the idea formulated by Peter Berger of the necessity that social groups have to form and to maintain plausible structures which give meaning to communal life and its continuance in time |
