Abstract: This article describes the process of social and identity consolidation in Peru since the encounter of Christianity with the Andean religion in the 16th century. The insertion of the Catholic concepts of sin and condemnation created fissures in the self-identity of the indigenous people, who, upon adopting Catholicism, imprinted in it the elements of their own religion. The myth, the Andean spirituality and the Catholic religion have created a new religiosity with emergent properties. This cultural phenomenon expresses the consolidation of Peru's identity, in which the mestizo-indigenous component clearly predominates.
