Being a religious event, we seek to show that the religious parties generally have particular meanings for each nation or region. Amaral (1998) informs that the Brazilian parties regardless of where they occur are popular demonstrations that, as the context in which they present themselves, can dilute to crystallize, to celebrate, to ritualize or sacralize the particular social experience of the groups that do. They happen as a way to thank victories or important religious passages as Christmas, the June saints celebration, patron saints and patron saints considered. Thus, The Bom Jesus dos Navegantes party in Propri?-SE: story of faith, a space of social relations and cultural ties, is presented as our field of study because it is one of those celebrations that while celebrated in Sergipe, always on Sundays in January, by some municipalities situated along the river San Francisco, has the characteristic of overlap any others placed in town, including the one of the city's patron saint, Saint Anthony, held on June 13. Concerning the materials and methods, we opted for qualitative research and participant direct observation, using the techniques of personal notes, interviews, newspapers, websites, photos, videos and testimonials from participants and organizers, as well as references offered by experts of the area. With this research answers were sought to questions about what could keep alive the celebration of Bom Jesus dos Navegantes each year in order that this is a patron saint, not saint; the way as the investment of local government with more resources in this period, during the organization of arts festivals, has created a thread of tension with the Catholic Church promoting the religious rituals was reviewed. It was also analyzed how the sacred and profane spaces present themselves inseparable from the celebration and, finally, it was revealed that the party retains its value by preserving its tradition and making room for modernity, not weakening but suffering metamorphoses of time and space and can be seen in the social and cultural bonds wrapped by the time of religious faith / O estudo trata de uma pesquisa realizada para o mestrado em Ci?ncias Sociais em conv?nio entre a Universidade Tiradentes-UNIT/SE e Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). Por ser um acontecimento religioso, buscou-se mostrar que as festas religiosas de modo geral t?m significados particulares para cada povo ou regi?o. As festas brasileiras independente de onde aconte?am, como informa Amaral (1998), s?o manifesta??es populares que, conforme o contexto em que se apresentam, podem diluir, cristalizar, celebrar, ritualizar ou sacralizar a experi?ncia social particular dos grupos que a realizam. Elas acontecem como forma de agradecer vit?rias alcan?adas ou passagens religiosas importantes como o Natal, celebra??o aos santos juninos, santos padroeiros e os considerados santos protetores. Assim, A festa do Bom Jesus dos Navegantes em Propri?-SE: hist?ria de f?, espa?o das rela??es sociais e la?os culturais se apresenta como campo de estudo dessa disserta??o por tratar-se de um desses festejos que, embora comemorado por alguns munic?pios sergipanos situados ?s margens do rio S?o Francisco, sempre nos domingos de janeiro, tem a caracter?stica de se sobrepor a todas as outras festas realizadas na cidade, inclusive ?s do santo padroeiro de Propri?, Santo Ant?nio, realizada no dia 13 de junho. Enquanto material e m?todos, optou-se pela pesquisa qualitativa/participante, fazendo uso das t?cnicas de observa??o direta, entrevistas, publica??es de jornais, sites, fotos, v?deos e depoimentos de organizadores e participantes, al?m de refer?ncias bibliogr?ficas de estudiosos da ?rea. Com esta pesquisa buscaram-se respostas para questionamentos sobre o que poderia manter viva a realiza??o do festejo de Bom Jesus dos Navegantes a cada ano, tendo em vista tratar-se de um santo protetor e n?o padroeiro; avaliou-se como o investimento do poder local na organiza??o dos festejos art?sticos vem criando um fio de tens?o com a Igreja Cat?lica, promotora dos rituais religiosos. Al?m disso, analisou-se como os espa?os sagrados e profanos se apresentam indissoci?veis ao festejo e, por fim, constatou-se que a festa preserva o seu valor ao conservar sua tradi??o e ao abrir espa?o para a modernidade, n?o se enfraquecendo, mas sofrendo metamorfoses do tempo e do espa?o, podendo ser percebida nas rela??es sociais e la?os culturais envoltos pelo momento de f? religiosa
