SANTERIA 

CUBA 2018 © Massimo Rumi

Santeria is a fusion of Catholic practices and African folk beliefs. It emerged in Cuba during the 17th century, and has been embedded in Cuban society ever since. The “ Coronation Day”, a very expensive ritual to become a Santero , it’s a cruel practice that involves the sacrifice of animals. It represents a serious and full time commitment to the spiritual practices of Santeria, as well as a special calling.
