Resumo

The present article tells a history of the ‘Jesus’ family who migrated from the city of Nacip Raydan, in the region of Go- vernador Valadares in the state of Minas Gerais to the eastern suburb of Sao Paulo between 1951 and 1996. The migration was accompanied by the development of the devotion which acted as a way of including the family in a national community. The interviews were crossed, in the doctoral thesis from which this article was derived, with the images and songs about the Virgin Aparecida with the object of understanding the role of devotion in a black catholic family life project, which moved from a rural area to a big metropolis, and is now behaving like millions of other Brazilian families from the same period.
