Sincretismo religioso judaico-cristão e greco-romano no Bom Jesus do SacroMonte bracarense (Braga – Portugal)

Research reveals a significant religious syncretism at the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus do Monte in Braga, Portugal, where Jewish-Christian and Greco-Roman symbols were artistically integrated into Baroque art during the 18th century. Initially rooted in 14th-century devotion, the site transitioned under Portuguese rule, particularly during King João V's reign (1707–1750). The study demonstrates how inscriptions originally linking figures like Solomon and Isaías to Jewish or Greco-Roman contexts were reinterpreted to align with Christian narratives of Christ's crucifixion. This transformation reflects a dynamic process of cultural and religious assimilation over centuries, analyzed through the lens of Baroque substitution in the Sacro-Monte's Via Crucis.
