In the village of Regência Augusta, at the Doce River s Banks in the Linhares council ES, an intricated social and religious dynamic takes with religious attributes a herowhose made it happens in the ends of the 19th century. Bernardo José dos Santos, inhabitant of the village, would be nationally known as the Caboclo Bernardo Hero when honored by Princess Isabel, for saving 128 of the 142 crew members at Imperial Marinheiro war ship wreck, near the Doce river s mouth. The event and its consequences became a Mark in the village s history, including the hero s murder in mid-second half of the 20th century. In the narrative, ritual and symbolic continuity of the heroic act of Caboclo Bernardo, this research casts their concerns. Nowadays, every year in the village is celebrated the Caboclo Fernando Party, a festivity to where religious people from different ethnicities - tupiniquim, botocudo, negros and caboclos unite to honor the hero in a chappel named after him. In this way, this ethnography tries to analise the construction process of the village ethnic-religious indentity, since it happens concomitantly and is umbilically related to the process that brings the hero to the level of patron saints of region s congo bands (musical group with religious atributes). Therefore, will be analised the dramatic context where the identity of the town is built, the historical, symbolic and narratives confluences that contribute to the current configuration of identity, and political-institutional context organized around the Caboclo Bernardo, central paradigm of the construction of identity . The ethnographic method, the interpretative anthropology and visual anthropology provided the methodological contours of the research, which constituted as a dense description.(AU)
