Why pilgrims come

A sacred place worth the journey.

The Horto, Padre Cícero’s house, museum, great statue, Bom Jesus church, and penitential landscape form one of northeastern Brazil’s most powerful popular pilgrimage complexes. Padre Cícero is a Servant of God, not a canonized saint. The Diocese of Crato documents both the enduring romarias and the Church’s reconciliation process, so the page must preserve that precise status.
