The imagery organizes the images produced by homo sapiens in their anthropological path. This process occurs in psychophysiological level interaction with the cosmic environment and cultural, or vice versa. In this process, the imagination has the function of euphemization, that's why man creates images and symbols to mediate the harsh reality of time and the inevitability of death. Regarding the phenomenon "population in street situation", it is understood as being a group of people that lives in the streets and of it, usually, of their own will, or for reasons beyond his will. Crisscrossing these two concepts, this study aimed to analyze the symbolic images produced by people on the street to identify their religious imagery. The research subjects are housed in Casa de Acolhida of the City of Joao Pessoa and people living on the streets at the Mercado do Peixe of Tambaú in João Pessoa-PB. As a theoretical contribution, we used the General Theory of the Imagery (GTI) developed by G. Durand who supported the analysis of the images. We also seek the input of Discourse Analysis (DA) of the french line, with the concepts espoused by Foucault. The study was developed from the fieldwork that is one of the designs of the qualitative method. The research instruments were the Life History of the deponents and the implementation of a semi-structured interview, which allowed the collection of data relating to the religious imagery of the people on the street. In developing the survey, we could understand the formation of religious images from reflexology and arquetipology; we understand that modern man has the need of (re)encounter with the sacred, possibly, because spirituality is part of its constitution. The study results indicated that the religious imagery of the people on the streets in João Pessoa-PB features a convergence of daytime and nighttime images, since these images pointed upwards, towards the light and at the same time, indicated fall. These images are typical of the antithetical scheme - Daytime Conditions. On the other hand, the images converged to the center, to the intimacy of the house and the cup that are the expression of the euphemization of negative images from living on the streets. The religious imaginary the people in street situation analysis here unveiled, still, the religion an under prospective prism regarding the search for better days and a resignation about your own destiny. In this connection between utterances, we found the religious discourse crossed by syncretism and by pluralism with greater emphasis on images of Christianity.
