A Incrível História do "Primeiro Papa" do Brasil (Ep 01)

First episode of the series “The True Story of Umbanda” At the end of the 16th century, an indigenous religious movement emerged in Bahia and challenged Portuguese rule, the Catholic Church, and the colonial order itself. Known as the Holiness of Jaguaripe, this unique experience brought together elements of Tupi tradition and Christianity, forming an original religion that even recognized its own "Pope," as well as priests, rituals, and an organized community. But how did this movement originate? Who was this religious leader? Why did the Portuguese authorities consider him such a great threat? And how did the Inquisition end up involved in this story? In this video, learn about one of the most fascinating—and least known—passages in the history of Colonial Brazil. Based on academic documents, we reconstruct the trajectory of the Holiness of Jaguaripe, exploring the encounter between indigenous cultures, African cultures, European colonizers, and Jesuit missionaries, in a period marked by conflict, resistance, and profound religious transformations. Watch until the end to understand how this religious movement from the beginning of our history left legacies that resonate to this day in religions like Umbanda.
