This article discusses the relationships that traditional people – the faxinalenses – have with the supernatural,their prayers, celebrations and devotions to St. John, the Divine Holy Spirit and St. Roque. It is intended to give visibility to the rural culture of these communities organized around the common use of natural resources, especially the pastures, in the South and South-Central Parana State. The review of these relationships allows us to observe aspects of this tradition, like healings and benedictions of animals, the knowledge of medicinal plants, the demarcation of the spaces, the relationships with time, the symbolism of the work and the rest of the animals, prayers and festivals, the daily life and the extraordinary.
