For that, it is necessary to understand how the relationship between Voodoo and Christianity was established. This religion brought about by the colonizers carried out a persecution over the Voodoo religion and its adherents trying to impose itself as "the" religion of civilization. In this tense relationship there were changes and syncretisms between the two religions that can be identified in the sacred symbols of Voodoo. These sacred objects are loaded with meanings and empowered. Our research will have an ethnographic approach, based on the analysis and interpretation of the selected documents, which are already included in our research theme. Such sacred objects are signified by the followers of voodoo as identity and political resistance against the impositions and repressions made against both voodoo and its followers, guaranteeing their transmission from one generation to another. The sacralization of objects made by the followers of voodoo serves as the beginning of their construction not only as resistance from voodoo against various repressions made against him, but also the survival of Haitian voodoo.   Este artigo trata sobre a religião Vodu, em especial, os símbolos sociais sagrados do vodu haitiano e seus significados simbólicos. Para isso é necessário compreender como se estabeleceu a relação entre o Vodu e o cristianismo. Esta religião trazida pelos colonizadores realizou uma perseguição sobre a religião Vodu e seus adeptos tentando se impor como “a” religião da civilização. Nesta relação tensa ocorreram mudanças e sincretismos entre as duas religiões que pode ser identificada nos símbolos sagrados do Vodu. Esses objetos sagrados são carregados de significados e dotados de poderes. Nossa pesquisa será de abordagem etnográfica, com base na análise e interpretação dos documentos selecionados, os quais já estão inseridos em nosso tema de pesquisa. Tais objetos sagrados são significados pelos seguidores do vodu enquanto resistência identitária e política contra as imposições e repressões feitas tanto contra o vodu quanto seus adeptos garantindo a sua transmissão de uma geração para outra. A sacralização dos objetos feitos pelos seguidores do vodu serve como o início de sua construção não apenas enquanto resistência do vodu contra várias repressões feitas contra ele, mas também a sobrevivência do vodu haitiano.
