- Abstract
The mendicant orders made up of friars called to penance revolutionized the spirituality of urban nuclei in the 13th century in western Europe. This allowed lay people a greater participation in the religious sphere, as they should follow the acts and sufferings of Jesus as faithfully as possible in the pursuit of individual redemption. The Council of Trent valued the multiplication of associations for the dissemination of pious exercises, highlighting the devotion to Christ's Passion, in Europe and overseas. In the Portuguese Empire, most of the churches of the Third Order of Carmel presented the iconographic program with representations of the Via Sacra. As the Portuguese congeners, the members of the Third Order of Carmel of Rio de Janeiro configured themselves as a secular axis of practices and cult of the Path in the 17th-19th centuries. For the perception of this secular daily life in the religious and its interface with the figure of the Suffering Christ, the Carmelite Rule and the Statute and Inventory Books of the Third Order of Rio were analyzed, associating their content with the views of foreign instravelers on the rituals performed, in addition to the in situ and photographic research of the sculptures of Jesus and his Passion. Thus, for the lay members of the Order, the contact with Christ and his suffering, through sacred collections, exercises, liturgical and festive ceremonies, led to a divine intimacy and the claim to an edified existence before the antagonistic and transitory reality of life.
