Yemanja Ceremony - Montevideo

Yemanja ceremony in Montevideo. Every year on February 2, the beaches of Uruguay are transformed into gigantic open-air temples. Here, on February 2, 2025, in Montevideo's Playa Ramirez, purification sessions and relatives multiply on the sand, and the faithful make their offerings by wading into waist-deep water. The cult of Yemanja was practised by black slaves, but masked by Christian celebrations, which is why the deity is now represented as a virgin. Photo by Duffour P/ANDBZ/ABACAPRESS.COM
