Answer #1

here’s some info regarding that;

“Santeria/La Regla Lucumi

Santeria, literally “the way of the saints,” is a combination of the Nigerian Yuruba religion and Spanish Roman Catholic beliefs, blending African Orishas with Catholic Saints. As Santeria has evolved from its slave origins, many followers prefer to focus on the Yoruban folk aspect, and prefer to call their religion “La Regla Lucumi.” A wedding ceremony might include rituals, prayers and offerings to Orishas, emissaries for one god, Olorun.”
