A ideia para elaboração do presente trabalho surgiu a partir do convite da Sociedade Brasileira de Espeleologia para elaboração de um capítulo sobre o valor cênico, turismo e religião em regiões que apresentam cavernas desenvolvidas em formações ferríferas. A partir da ideia inicial, decidiu-se ampliar o tema para que pudéssemos incluir, também, aspectos culturais da paisagem em uma região específica como a do Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF), em Minas Gerais. Assim, tem-se como objetivo principal da pesquisa demonstrar a possibilidade de associação entre o valor cênico, turismo, religião e cultura no QF por meio da indicação de exemplos selecionados. Palavras-chave: Valor cênico, turismo, religião, cultura, Quadrilátero Ferrífero ABSTRACTThe idea of this paper emerged after the invitation by the Brazilian Society of Speleology for preparation of a chapter on the scenic value, tourism and religion in regions with caves developed in banded iron formations. From the initial idea, the author decided to expand the theme here so one could include the cultural aspects of the landscape in a specific region such as the Iron Quadrangle (Quadrilátero Ferrífero), in Minas Gerais. Thus, the main objective of this study is to demonstrate the possible association between the scenic value of a landscape together with tourism, religion and culture by indicating selected examples, especially in the QF. Keywords: scenic value, tourism, religion, culture, Quadrilátero Ferrífero

Síntese: O catolicismo compõe os pilares formadores da sociedade brasileira, e, no meio rural, a religiosidade católica é caracterizada, amiúde, pela relação intimista e familiar entre devotos e santos. Considerando essa relação, este artigo apresenta o trabalho etnográfico realizado na cidade de Presidente Kubitschek, Minas Gerais, município com características rurais, que possui pouco mais de 3 mil habitantes, dos quais 91% se declaram católicos. Assim, pretende-se observar a experiência religiosa vivenciada por essa população, bem como identificar o culto aos santos e, similarmente, a uma “mártir popular”, uma pedinte, que, segundo moradores locais, após trágica morte, passou a realizar milagres. Ao final dessa pesquisa, busca-se concluir qua a vivência religiosa local apresenta características rurais e populares que compõem valores nucleares que influenciam na vida dessa população.Palavras-chave: Religiosidade. Catolicismo. Devoção.

Considering said relationship, this paper presents the ethnographic research conducted in Presidente Kubitschek, a town with rural characteristics and a little more than 3000 inhabitants, of which 91% are self-declared catholics. Thus, it intends to observe the religious experience lived by this population, as well as to identify the worship of saints and a “popular martyr”, a beggar who allegedly started to perform miracles after her tragic death, according to local residents. At the end, this research concludes that the local religious life presents rural and popular characteristics that compose nuclear values that influentiate this population’s life.Keywords: Religiousness.
