Our research aimed to understand how the phenomenon of religious symbolism present in the church of San Anthony, in João Pessoa, capital of Paraíba, northeastern Brazil, is working to confront the existential angst and the discovery of the meaning of life. We believe that behind the great historical movements there is organization of symbols and myths that constituent and represent the desires of the humanity. Through the General Theory of Imaginary we identified the regime of images predominant in the imagery of the church, thus revealing the mode of confrontation of the man in front of his finitude. We, also, identified through the Logotheory the noetic values of the community who erected the convent, as well as realize how this discovered the meaning of life before the existential void caused by the lack of direction and the perception of death. Thus, we learn that the mythodology is a scientific study that considers the spiritual and collective factors in the actual constitution of immediate reality. Therefore, we studied the religious phenomenon in that it is a social reality, more than that, by the religion being responsible for the formation of cultures and societies. Thus, we studied the religious fact, through his sensitive and aesthetic aspects, in our case, through the imagery of Tropical Baroque art. In addition, we noted the possibility of collaboration between Logotheory and Theory of Imaginary to the pursuit of quality of life of human beings, with the symbol as an instrument of psychological and social balance
