The bibliographical and field research carried out during the Divine Holy Spirit festivities in the city of Salvador is a rich contribution to cultural studies in Bahia. The chapters composed of the Divine Triad: Father, Son, Holy Spirit and Amen, reveal the multiple dimensions of the festivities, constituting their first documentary and imagery record complemented by a video. The Feast is a celebration with more than two hundred years of tradition. It takes place annually during the Pentecost period in the old Historic Centre, in the Santo Antônio Além do Carmo neighbourhood, and is one of the city's least visible popular events, but one that mobilises the local population in expressive processes of community identity and with a strong religious appeal inherited from the Iberian tradition.
