Santeria is a syncretic religion of West African and Caribbean origin, also known as Regla de Ocha or La Regla Lucumi. Santeria’s origins date back to Cuba and Brazil circa 1515. During the slave trade,
Yoruba and Bantu natives were forcibly transported from Africa to the Caribbean. They were typically baptized by the Roman Catholic Church upon arrival and their native practices suppressed. They developed a novel way of keeping their old beliefs alive by equating each of their traditional Orishas, a spirit or deity that reflects one of the manifestations of God, with a corresponding Christian saint of the newly ‘acquired’ religion.
