Abstract

The goal of this study is to give a detailed description of the Essentials aspects of popular religiosity in general, and of popular religiosity in Huelva in particular, based on the existing documentation and on the experiences of the people who participate in it. In order to do so, one should take the position of a meticulous observer of the religious and pseudo-religious manifestations. General beliefs expressed in ancient and recent documents are also taken into consideration. In this study, a series of keys about popular religiosity in Andalusia are unveiled, highlighting its most positive values and also emphasizing its lacks. Our work also has a didactic dimension that offers clues as to help us establish the attitudes and the necessary changers to archive a strong, supportive commitment, the authenticity of becoming a Christian, that is, a follower a Christ.
