Why pilgrims come

Discover what makes Horto do Padre Cícero Pilgrimage Complex a place of pilgrimage

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.
