Sumario:Here we provide an ethnographic vision of the praxis of curing cattle with prayer in the Patía Valley, in the department of Cauca, Colombia. This craft has become part of the identity of the patianos and patianas and is being transmitted generationally as a symbolic element of their culture. This skill is a manifestation little studied by disciplines such as Geography, Anthropology and History. This lack of information motivated the beginning of this research that used interviews and local epistemes as main methods of analysis. It seeks, as a primary intention, to highlight the relevance of the cattle cure with prayer in the territory. In this article, this practice is understood (that of curing cattle with prayer) as an identity representation of the Afro-Patagonian population that helps the way in which the community has re-signified its space and has made its culture an extension of themselves, demonstrating the interdependence between natural conditions, identity and idiosyncrasy.
