Take a Tour to Recife’s Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueira

The altar in Recife’s Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris is made of gold while the walls are covered with Portuguese and ornada tiles.  18th century paintings adorn the tiled walls of this centuries old church.  The church is conveniently located at the Park of the Jaquiera along Rui Barbosa Avenue.

The Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris is right next to the Ducha Bridge where the Park of Jaqueira is presently located.  The place affords spiritual shelter and for people who want to find peace.  Aside from the locals, Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris is also open for visitors.  Although not as large as the other famous churches in Recife, Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris has withstood many renovatipons and reconstructions under the care of the parishioners.  For a long time this church was completely closed.

Presently, Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris is again bustling with activities.  The community has made it a point to contribute and participate in weeklong goings-on concerning the church.  The natives religiously follow the rules and regulations the governing body has established.   

Nossa Senhora da Conceicao da Jaqueira is believed to have been started by a family whose women were devotees of the Virgin Mary.  The women prayed fervently for the men who have been stricken by ill health.  The chapel was located then is the small farm of the Jaqueiras.  Since then it was known as the Capela da Jaqueira and the name persists until today. 

The structure is based on fantastic baroque style.  The tiles are similar to those of other famous churches in Recife like the convents of the Carmelite and Franciscano.  The panels are of sturdy tracings and beautiful colors unmatched even by today’s estimates.  The altar as well as the choir place is adorned by relevant paintings of the 18th century.  The pictures of the saints are made of oil on wood.  These are the pictures of Saint Antonio and Are Enrique and also of Joaco Baptist and Felipe Nery.  Even if the style of the altar is in baroque, some vestiges of rococa style is visible.  In the altar the manuscript believed to be of that of Pope Pius VI has been found.

A relic made of rock with a long tap in bronze is safely in place in the sacristy.  The relic’s workmanship is obviously of the in the 18th century.   The images are still intact in spite of the great robbery and depredation the church has experienced. The roofing tiles of the Nossa Senhora da Conceicao ou Capela da Jaqueiris, its wood, locks, door knockers, hinges and other items remained in their original state as can be seen today.
