Resumo: The study presents reflections on evocation memories processes among the congadeiros in Goiânia/GO, from the agency of the sacred objects - the crowns, flags, and batons of command. The festivities of the João Vaz neighborhood were subject to ethnographic research between the years 2017 and 2020. It was observed that the use of sacred objects can evoke memories linked to ancestry and gone relatives. In certain contexts, objects are endowed with powers and are configured as instruments that enable communication with their deities, whether Catholic saints or entities of the Afro-Brazilian pantheon.

Une recherche ethnographique a été développée dans les festivités de la Vila João Vaz entre les années 2017 et 2020. Il a été observé que l'utilisation d'objets sacrés peut évoquer des souvenirs liés aux ancêtres et aux membres de la famille disparus. Dans certains contextes, les objets sont dotés de pouvoirs et sont configurés comme des instruments permettant de communiquer avec leurs divinités, qu'il s'agisse de saints catholiques ou d'entités du panthéon afro-brésilien.The study presents reflections on evocation memories processes among the congadeiros in Goiânia/GO, from the agency of the sacred objects - the crowns, flags, and batons of command.
