Visit to a typical temple, where passengers can learn and see a little bit
of this
exotic religion,
brought to Brazil from the Africans slaves. This
gorgeous Brazilian carnival costume
is actually a representation of one of
Ymanjaya, the most powerful of the ancient African gods - and the
Virgin Mary. Macumba,
the secret religion of many in Brazil, incorporates
Afro-Christian beliefs and then
blends them with a type of voodoo. When in
Rio, the visitor is never far from Macumba, the
African
black magic (known in Haiti as voodoo),
which plays such
a large part in the life of Afro-Brazilians.
