What is Understanding Candomblé Religion about?
Candomblé is a Brazilian religion developed by enslaved Africans, primarily from the Yoruba ethnic group, who adapted their spiritual practices to survive in a new environment. The religion incorporates elements of Catholicism to camouflage African beliefs, allowing it to thrive despite historical oppression. Today, Candomblé serves as a microcosm of Yoruba cosmology, uniting various Orishás and fostering a new social structure among Afro-Brazilians.
