The name comes from the celebration held on coffee plantations by the Blacks. The first community for Candomble was in Salvador, the old capital city of Brazil. The religion's spiritual leaders are women, or high priestesses. Originally, the men held these roles, but as slaves they had to spend their days in the field. Umbanda derives from the Hindu aum-gandha, meaning "divine principle." It gathers its beliefs about spirits and spiritual healing from both African religions and Hinduism and Buddhism. Umbandistas also communicate with Catholic saints, but through intermediaries (ancestors).

18. 500 Years Of Brazil The mixtureof Catholicism with african paganism resulted in religions We will discuss the two major Afrobrazilian religions, Candomblé and Umbanda. http://library.thinkquest.org/C005537/religions.html

The Religions of Brazil The Christian Religions Christianity has a very important place in Brazilian society. After all, Brazil is the second largest Christian country on Earth. Roman Catholicism Though Brazil has no official or state religion, Roman Catholicism is by far, the religion of the majority of the inhabitants of Brazil. Brazil's deep roots in Roman Catholicism were first instilled by Portuguese missionaries, which in the early days of colonization, were usually Jesuits. These foundations remain in modern day society and were given a boost in the 1950's by emigration from primarily Catholic countries such as Italy, Germany, and Poland. What makes Brazilian Roman Catholicism different from any other form of Roman Catholicism is the way that many Brazilians have included famous religious figures from Brazil in their worship. For example, many people pray to figures like Padre Cícero, a deceased priest from the area of Ceará. There are also many pilgrimage spots around the country, one of them being where the patron saint of Brazil, Nossa Senhora da Aparecida (Our Lady of the Appearance) appeared. Protestantism In the past twenty or so years, Protestantism has increased in popularity. The 1991 census revealed 19.2% of Brazil to be Protestant. Members of the Assembly of God make up approximately half of this percentage. Denominations that have shown the greatest increases are fundamentalist groups that have strict rules in the manner of dress, gambling and drug use.

19. The Contribution Of Africa To The Religious Heritage Of The World: Excerpts From african religious traditions and Christianity have truly been brought together religions such as Haitian Voodoo, Cuban Santeria and brazilian Candomblé, http://www.wcc-coe.org/wcc/what/interreligious/cd37-13.html

The contribution of Africa to the religious heritage of the world Excerpts from the welcome address Hans Ucko The World Council of Churches rededicated itself at the Eighth Assembly in Harare, Zimbabwe 1998 to "the African dream and agenda for the 21st century" and adopted a statement, which expressed a will and desire to engage creatively and in solidarity with Africa, stimulating a new way of looking at Africa. It is a focus on Africa. Such a focus is needed and the WCC Assembly did not have to go long to explain why the churches ought to be engaged for the well-being of Africa: half of Africa is at present at war in their own countries, the refugee crisis, the effects of globalisation, poverty, terrorism, the health crisis and the spread of Aids. The problems, which are certainly not to be ignored, do however shape an image of Africa as a continent full of needs, which has little to offer. The most common seems to be to focus on the continent of Africa, not from the point of view of its positive achievements, but from its problems. This consultation, which we hope will yield fruits for an ongoing process on the theme "The contribution of Africa to the religious heritage of the world", should challenge the perception of Africa as being mainly on the receiving end or as a source of poor health and ongoing conflicts. What prompts us is not apologetics but as far as we can understand it, we would like to provide space for the integrity of Africa, because we have seen and understood that Africa is vibrant and present way beyond its geographical location.
