Efeitos da religiosidade no cotidiano das mulheres da comunidade Vera Cruz de Laranjeiras do Sul/PR

Abstract

The aim of this study is to understand the effects of religiosity on the daily lives of women in the Vera Cruz community, located in the municipality of Laranjeiras do Sul/PR. Religiosity is understood as the experience of faith, of spirituality, and is centrally based on the Catholic religion in which the women taking part in the research are integrated. Daily life reflects the events of life as a whole, as well as its marks on the multiple territorialities and social and cultural relations. Through everyday life we move forward to transform our existence and also society. The methodology used was qualitative in nature, with a bibliographical study of the concepts of religiosity and everyday life, semi-structured interviews and records in a field diary. It was also a case study. We can therefore conclude that religiosity strengthens social and cultural relations and intensifies cooperation ties within the community. The women's involvement not only demonstrates active participation in religious practices, but also a commitment to the life and sustainability of the community as a whole.
