The present work proposes that conservation of the built heritage of religious genre (temples, sanctuaries, convents, etc.) is widely favored when the religious practices that gave rise to the buildings are preserved. The religious festivities, undeniable intangible cultural heritage of the peoples of America, are guarantee of the maintenance, rescue and restoration of movable and immovable property linked to them. To argue the above, this research has opted for an inductive method with a qualitative diachronic approach that has as starting point YucatanPeninsula during the second half of the 19th century. Thus, through considerations of History and Architecture, it is possible to base the initial argument, since the cases of the past show that by conserving the immaterial, the conservation of the material is guaranteed; whereas when the immaterial is lost, the material also perishes. The results offer guidelines so that when this study is repeated taking other periods and latitudes as a sample, the generalization of the approach can be induced.
