-Where do Catholicism and Santeria intersect in Cuba?
-Was my great-grandmother always so devoutly Catholic or were there many unseen Santeria practices that I never noticed?
-
- "This form of worship demonstrates the equal faith that many of Santeria’s adherents have placed in both the Orishas and the Catholic saints. By accepting and adopting the beliefs of both Cuba’s historic oppressor and oppressed, they have formed a religion that can neither be labeled as truly Christian nor Yoruba, but instead inherently Cuban."
-
"Deeply rooted in African traditions and closely associated with Catholicism and Christianity, Afro-Caribbean religions are anchors in the creole culture of the Caribbean."
-
"In fact, the name “Santeria” was originally a derogatory term used by Catholic priests to distance the practice from Catholicism, association it to the worship of saints. While popular culture more readily identifies with the term Santeria, practitioners know it as regal de ocha or Lucumi. "
-I'm curious how I can explore my family history, my great grandmother's story through Santeria and Catholicism?
-My great-great grandmother was allegedly the biggest witch in cuba
-Are there rituals in Santeria honoring the dead?
-Are there ocean ventric Santeria rituals?
