| Resumo: | This article shows how elderly persons' everyday lives overlap with the religious experience among evangelicals in urban and rural peripheral neighborhoods. It shows how symbolic capital, based on faith, becomes social capital for individuals during the last stage of their lives. It states that spirituality increases with age, in relation to the loss of health, loved ones and/or material losses. The article is divided into three parts. In the first, the author correlates three issues; old age, death and religion. In the second, she provides the ethnographic framework and in the third she provides empirical material and an analysis of the latter.
