ResumoportuguesApos o estabelecimento, em 1910, a Primeira Republica Portuguesa assumiu um perfil anticlerical durante os seus primeiros anos. Consequentemente, poderiamos supor que as receitas das instituicoes religiosas portuguesas refletiram quebras estruturais em 1910. No entanto, um dos mais importantes centros historicos de peregrinacao de Portugal (o Jesus de Braga) parece ter passado esses anos sem quebras significativas. Baseando-nos em analises econometricas de series temporais (principalmente testes sobre quebras estruturais), estudamos com detalhe a serie de receitas de Bom Jesus entre 1863 e 1952 (ou seja, entre o confisco da propriedade da igreja pela monarquia constitucional e a estabilizacao da Segunda Republica). Concluiu-se que 1910 nao e uma data significativa para a identificacao EnglishFollowing its establishment in 1910, the First Portuguese Republic adopted a markedly anticlerical profile during its early years. Consequently, we hypothesize that the revenue of Portuguese religious institutions should reflect a clear structural break in 1910. However, one of Portugal’s most important historical pilgrimage sites (“Bom Jesus de Braga”) does not seem to have experienced a very significant break. Relying on time series econometrics (consisting primarily of recurring tests for multiple structural breaks), we studied the series of the Bom Jesus revenue between 1863 and 1952 (i.e., between the confiscation of church property by the constitutional monarchy and the stabilization of the Second Republic). It was concluded that 1910 does not represent a significant date for identifying a structural break in this series. However, the last quarter of the nineteenth century cannot be neglected in terms of the structural changes occurring in the Bom Jesus revenue
