In this crucial aspect, the IURD rises in the Brazilian religiousscenery like a big village that offers a variety of symbolic properties. This article aim to gives a first stepin the our project of dissertation to the master that aim to analyzes, specifically, how the afro-spirit’ssymbolic properties are re-meaned and re-worked in universal church.
