created for the 1st edition of EfiMurs festival

This mural is the representation of the deity lemanja, the “orisha” who represents the energy of the moon and the sea. This religious figure comes from the culture of the Yoruba people in Africa. It expanded throughout Brazil in the Escalist period and merged with Brazilian cults and gave rise to Umbanda and others. lemanjá is known in Brazil as the mother of all and Queen of the Sea, protector of fishermen. It has a deep connection with Our Lady of the Candlestick for reasons of origin, but the evolution in different geographical points maintains coincidences such as the day of celebration of both entities on February 2.
