The days listed below were created out of neccessity by the
slaves. The days listed correspond to Catholic saints. This
enabled the slaves to honor their spirits masked as catholic saints.
By honoring the spirits on these days you can tap into a global
energy of thousands of devotees as well as honnoring the
memory of the slaves that started the traditions.
There are also many days not listed and Orisha who do not have
a corresponding catholic saint.
