- Abstract
This article consists in a reflection about the placement/positioning of women's group in the organizational spaces of the religious festival of Círio Fluvial Noturno de Santo Antonio (St. Anthony's Night of the River Candles) in the town of Oriximiná, Pará, Brazil. Thus, we analyze, under the perspective of gender relations, what is the role of women in the multiple actions and plans developed by the Catholic Church of Oriximiná in achieving this festive event. The participation of women within Catholicism, as practiced in this place, points out the social space available for it within the organization and the structure of local society. Women are always present in the organization of such religious events, whether by the numerous representations of beliefs or the celebration around the Holy protector's image.
