SUMMARY:

The Folia de Reis is a religious festival and popular tradition that seeks to represent the journey of the Three Wise Men, who announced the birth of Jesus, until their encounter with Him. The kitchen is a fundamental element in the construction and development of this event, as it fosters social relations and identity affirmation. Thus, this study aims to understand the relationships, meanings, and potential uses of food as a way to sustain the Folia de Reis in the village of Amarolândia, located in the municipality of Mara Rosa, Goiás. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants, hosts, and attendees of the festival, along with observations of the preparation and celebration moments of the Folia. It was observed that food and commensality tend to be used as a means of preserving this popular practice, serving as a mediator between biological, social, and cultural satisfaction. This highlights the need to analyze the Folia de Reis based on its connections with regional identity and modernity, whose flexible structure absorbs and reinterprets the practices of the involved social group. In this way, it was possible to observe how daily life impacts the festival and how food adapts to this transformed routine. From a gastronomic and sociological perspective, it was evident that the kitchen, in all its dimensions, is not isolated from the modernization process. This study is believed to have the potential to contribute to the documentation of popular food practices and, consequently, to bring visibility to social and cultural dynamics that may otherwise fade in the face of modernity.
