What is Santeria?

Santeria is an Afro-Caribbean religion that combines elements of Yoruba, Roman Catholic, and Native American traditions. It is based on the belief in one God, and the worship of various deities known as Orishas. Santeria is practiced in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and other Caribbean countries, as well as in the United States. It is a syncretic religion, meaning it combines elements of different faiths. Santeria is a spiritual practice that focuses on healing, divination, and honoring ancestors.
