This current paper analyzes how religious events contribute to the development of a region.The religion with its many facets moves not only the devotional environment, but also the moral, economics and philosophic ones, beside others. The religiosity, strong aspect of the Cearense people, leads us to think how far the ramifications of having a large religious event, like the Padre Cícero, foster the local economy. Public and private investments are made, such as the increase of the sanitation system, the increment of the police force as a way of maintaining the order, the construction of hostels, the offer of transportation to places considered holy, food purchasing and promotion of cultural locus among others as a way of "good welcoming" to the pilgrims in order to make them come back over the year. Promoting the religious tourism has shown that this is a great bet to the regional development. This interaction is what we are trying to verify in this paper.
