Sob o título de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, ajuda nas dificuldades familiares ou pessoais. Quando Nossa Senhora Desatadora dos Nós, é invocada para resolver aqueles problemas que parecem impossíveis. Já como Nossa Senhora do Bom Parto, é quem assegura uma boa gestação e uma boa hora.

O autor acessa as tradições indígenas e africanas e o catolicismo popular para entender como Maria foi reinventada pelo povo. Está nas congadas de Minas Gerais, em nossa literatura de cordel, em Ariano Suassuna; no samba, é evocada no cavaquinho de Jorge Aragão e nos desfiles da Portela; no futebol, é figura emblemática para clubes, como o Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, do qual Nossa Senhora da Conceição é padroeira, e também para a Seleção Brasileira, tendo inspirado o apelido de “manto sagrado” para a camisa azul do nosso segundo uniforme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCom este \u003cem\u003eTantas Marias\u003c\/em\u003e, Simas demonstra como a santa habita o imaginário popular e o coração brasileiro.
