The main purpose of the current study was to analyze the understanding and what is the importance of the sacred on the day by day of the woman, under different ages and religions. We have investigated how the Sacred is perceived by the woman, how she feels in face of the sacred, and how the sacred language penetrates her sentiments, what is the perception she has of the different languages through which the sacred is manifested and how she internalizes it. In this study 14 female students of the graduate programs of the stricto sensu kind, in the area of humanities, with ages varying from 23 to 50 years. The interviews were done with a semistructured questioning that was taped and latter transcribed. The data were treated and categorized according to the method of analysis of the content of the interviews. The units of analysis were selected, starting with the perception of the importance and regarding the evidence of the thematic nuclei revealed by the interviewed. The final results conducted in 15 thematic nuclei were: 1) Definition of sacred; 2) Identity of sacred; 3) Representation of the sacred; 4) Familiarity with sacred; 5) Demonstration of the sacred; 6) Feelings perceived; 7) Localization of the sacred; 8) Relationship with the sacred; 9) Contact moments; 10)Importance of the sacred; 11) Religion and sacred; 12) Communication with the sacred; 13) Communication of the sacred with man and woman; 14) The female and male regarding perceptions of the sacred; 15) Female leadership in the church. Through the detailed analysis and discussion of the data collected it was possible to come to the conclusion that the present research has contributed for the revitalization of the historic memory regarding the relationship between the feminine and the sacred, serving as a guide (compass) for a renewed vision on the feminine role as a collaborative constructor of a more egalitarian society. The acceptance of the participation of the feminine, for the full understanding of the sacred is of major relevance for the social changes taking place in the beginning of this century.
