Description: The book and exhibition portrays the action of the Guard of Our Lady of Nazareth, an entity of more than 2,000 people in Belém do Pará, which protects and accompanies the Pilgrim Image of Our Lady of Nazareth, as well as expressions of popular beliefs in several states beyond Pará, such as Maranhão, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and also the Lower Amazon region. "This book focuses on the true faith of the followers as shown in the exemplary work of São Paulo's photographer Soraya Montanheiro, taken since 2013. They follow the liturgy surrounding of the original image of Our Lady of Nazareth, worshiped in the Basilica that is home to the sanctuary of the same name in Belém, the only one in Brazil's Amazonia, as well as the Pilgrim Image. the Pilgrim Image was created in the 1960's by Italian sculptor Giacomo Vincenzo Mussner under commission of the then-Nazareth Parish Priest, Father Alfredo Lucianus Maria Millani Brambilla (1926-2013), one of the founders of the Sanctuary Square. Brambilla was also Italian."-Page 15.
