In this article, which is a clipping of the doctoral thesis, the proposal is to analyze the litany sung in the occasion of All Saint’s Festival, main and traditional cultural-religious manifestation performed in the Marron Community at Jurussaca, Tracuateua-Pará, litany which happens in the Saturday night during the festival, and marks the highest point in the festivity. Methodologically, the present study will be based on Bonvini (2006) and Calvet (2011), who research, among other subjects, the oral tradition in traditional communities. The search shows that the litany sung in Jurussaca presents impressive reliability to the original text in Latin. However, it is exclusively shared orally, showing oral tradition’s strength in traditional communities as Jurussaca.
