Through its action tactics that are also externally reflected, these leaders, father - of - saint (Babalorixás) and mothers - of - saint (Yalorixás), carry out, perform their leaderships, searching, seeking their barnyards and religions tradition continuity. Inside this context, this work is a comparative study, within a socio antropological perspective, aiming at studying the actual leaderships, exerced, accomplished by two persons (a father of saint and a mother of saint), Candomblé religion barnyards chiefs, localized in Recife city, emphasizing their abilities, clevernesses.
