Résumé
Fidencism is a Mexican case of syncretism between Catholicism and ancient pre-hispanic deities. It is a cult organised around the personality of Fidencio Child, a Mexican healer renowned since the first part of the century and who was raised by popular fervour to the status of a saint following his death. The present-day cult, which is having great success, is structured around the different places where Fidencio lived and did his miraculous healing. Followers go to these places for an annual pilgrimage during which the spirit of Fidencio provokes possessed trances with therapeutic virtues. The authors analyse the symbolic foundations of this cult (assimilation of Fidencio to Christ, latent symbolism of the different rituals and pilgrimage places, etc.) as well as the social, ethnic and psychological aspects.
