Question

When and how did Santería arrive in Miami, New York, Puerto Rico, Madrid, Caracas and Mexico City?

Answer 1

Answer:

Santeria was practiced by the old black slaves and their descendants on the island of Cuba, which later expanded through the other colonies to neighboring countries such as Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Panama.

But later, in 1959 with the Cuban revolution, it would cause many Santists to emigrate to Florida, Spain, and Mexico, among others.

Explanation:

Santeria is an African polytheistic religion related to Catholicism, like many other religions given since the time of slavery.

This occurred because Africans were forced to become Catholics by their owners.

Africans would see Catholic saints quite similar to their deities in their hometown.

Santeria believes in a universal and omnipotent being from whom everything created comes, called Olodumare.

In addition to Olodumare, the Santists believe in other different Gods, each owner of an intangible part of society, and each one is worshiped in different ways.
