Born in Brazil, the enslaved Martinha was a mystical character in the mid-nineteenth century Amazon. It was said that she had supernatural powers, commanded processions and possessions, and called herself Saint Mary Martyr. Claiming to be possessed by spirits, she was accused of forcing Maria do Nascimento dos Santos’ heirs to present hers and her mother’s letters as if they were supernatural orders. An uproar erupted among devout Catholics in Ourém, province of Grão-Pará, around the public appearances of Martinha, often “out of her senses and speaking with a supernatural voice asking for certain actions.”
