Afrika'dan Kuba'ya 16-19. yuzyillar arasinda seker kamisi plantasyonlarinda calistirilmak uzere getirilen Yoruba yerlileri kendi inanclarini Katolik inanci ile harmanlamislar, boylece Katolik papazlara hala baska seylere taptiklarini caktirmamislar. Boyle sincretik bri din Santeira.
Santeira rahip ve rahibeleri bastan asagiya beyaz giyiniyorlar. Bir evin bombos girisindeki bu kiz bebek herhalde o evde bir Santeira rahibesinin oturdugunu simgeliyor diye yorumladim.

From Wikipedia:
Religion in Cuba reflects the island’s diverse cultural elements. Cuba is traditionally a Catholic country. In some instances Catholicism is much modified and influenced through syncretism. A common syncretic belief is Santería, which originated in Cuba and spread to neighboring islands; it shows similarities to Brazilian Umbanda and has been receiving a degree of official support.
This doll drerssed in white annouced that Santeria was practiced in that house since Santeira clergymen and women are always dressed in white as a sign of purity. |
