Their tradition involves pilgrimage and the practice of crafting unique offerings in payment for healing and reversal of bad fortune--a practice predating Christianity and brought to the new world by explorers and early European colonial powers. King argues that these marginalized Brazilians, living in a region where poverty is endemic, use St. Francis of Wounds to replace the medical and social services that the government has failed to provide. She further illustrates the evolution of the regional practice with photographs documenting all stages of this tradition, especially the folk art ex-votos used to pay for the saint's intervention"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000743915 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000743915 60000 $$aFrancis,$$cof Assisi, Saint,$$d1182-1226$$xCult$$zBrazil$$zCanindé (Ceará) 000743915 651_0 $$aCanindé (Ceará, Brazil)$$xReligious life and customs. 000743915 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKing, Lindsey.$$tSpiritual currency in northeast Brazil.$$dAlbuquerque : University of New Mexico Press, 2014$$z9780826355317 000743915 852__ $$bebk 000743915 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://site.ebrary.com/lib/usiricelib/Doc?id=10989916$$zOnline Access 000743915 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:743915$$pGLOBAL_SET 000743915 980__ $$aEBOOK 000743915 980__ $$aBIB 000743915 982__ $$aEbook 000743915 983__ $$aOnline
