The Yoruba Religion in Cuba: Embraced, Revered, and Thriving

Santería, deeply woven into Cuban identity, has evolved from a forbidden practice to a celebrated one. From the cleansing power of Elegua to the revolutionary spirit of Xango, Santería is a vibrant part of Cuban culture. This faith is interwoven with nature and daily life.

My second trip to Cuba was to help my Madrina. I had already been initiated, but practice is different here in the US. For three weeks in Diez de Octubre, all we did was "work the room," and I learned so much. Lucumi runs so deep in Cuba. I saw Black men - young teenagers and old ones - practice intricate parts of this religion and show such reverence. I was in awe. I am so blessed to be crowned Oshun.
