Abstract

Culture is a dimension of the social process, of the life of a society (SILVA, 2001). Popular festivals in Goiás are a subject that is closely linked to the concept of culture and religion, as culture says respect for all aspects of social life. Culture is a historical conception, it is a collective product of human life. This research work will address the historical and cultural aspect of Queen's Hunt party in Colinas do Sul – GO, in the years 2010 to 2011. During the festive season, which runs from the 8th to the 15th of June, traditionally, two groups of revelers, containing approximately 30 people in each group, with their own hierarchy of functions and rules, they travel through the villages on horseback and the municipality's farms, demonstrating their religiosity, taking sacred flags, symbols of deities and collecting donations in money and donations, in general. This information can be confirmed in the book “Stories of Goiás”: The beginning of a party takes place with the rural festivities, groups that over the course of 8 days, they travel through farms, farms and places in search of of donations for the festival in the city. There are songs, requests for landing, promises, hearty dinners, lots of cachaça, catira and forró (...) (DEUS & SILVA, 2002, p. 32). During this period, religious songs are performed, such as the Canto de Arrival, Bendito de Mesa, Farewell, as the catiras also play, corraleiras, minuanas, Carolina and viola modas that are the hallmarks of the festivities from Goiás. Given the circumstances, this project aims to understand the importance of the party for society. In this work, through bibliographical research of a descriptive nature exploratory, we intend to analyze what the Festa do Divino Espírito Santo, and Our Lady of the Rosary brings to society, as she makes part of the cultural and religious manifestations of the Brazilian people
