The object of this work are the benditos sung by the pilgrims during the pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus da Lapa BA, studied and analyzed through a ritual perspective. These popular songs of oral tradition sung in novenas, rosaries and religious processions are one of the earliest manifestations of popular Catholicism that still remain in some communities, mainly inland and rural of northeastern Brazil. We hypothesized that by studying and analyzing the benditos sung by the pilgrims in Bom Jesus da Lapa is possible to systematize the pilgrimage, recognizing all stages of this itinerary, identify the myths of the Sanctuary origin and compose a sort of "ordinary pilgrimage", with their own songs and benditos that, when sung, contributes to the update of this religious tradition and confirms their specificity. By studying the musical repertoire cultivated by pilgrims, we are also in search of the spirit of pilgrimage. Initially we contextualize the sertão, the background for the entire pilgrimage, and describe the profile of the pilgrim and their intentions on the pilgrimage, as well as present the rites and departure s benditos. Then we talk about the origin of the Sanctuary, its founding myths and myths of origin of the pilgrimage itself, and also we report the rites and benditos themselves of the outward journey. After, we describe the rites of arrival at the Sanctuary, the relationship of closeness and intimacy that is established between the pilgrim and the saint, and speak of rites and the permanency benditos. To finish the work, we look after the rites of farewell, with their own benditos, we broach the theme of remembrance and the cyclicity of the pilgrimage, and the benditos sung by pilgrims on the journey back, thus completing the entire cycle of pilgrimage. In this study, we conclude that the pilgrims of Bom Jesus da Lapa do not just sing at the pilgrimage, but instead sing "the" pilgrimage itself, with its own ordinary; and while singing the pilgrimage, the pilgrims sing themselves. It was also possible to see that, indeed, the benditos are an integrant part of pilgrimage and prerequisite for its effective fulfillment
