Abstract


There are cults in Andean societies that are alien to the Catholic orthodoxy, yet assimilated as popular manifestations of Catholicism under the tutelage of the Church. The case of "Niño compadrito", venerated in Tambo del Montero, near Plaza de Armas in Cuzco, Perú, illustrates the personality and attributes with which devotees endow holy images in the country. This cult has the characteristic features of the indigenous and Mestizo context in Cuzco to which it belongs.
