Axó a Xangô - 9786204735863

In Brazil, a multicultural country, Candombl?, a religion originally celebrated by people of African origin during the slavery era, has a concept of justice that includes respect for nature, ancestry and, mainly, the sense of community, important tools to understand the understanding of justice for the Brazilian culture. By worshipping the Orix?s figures, he believes that each has its own characteristics and values, and justice is the responsibility of Xang?. Ancient king of Oy?, he is represented by a two-bladed axe, in addition to the colors red and white. His cult influences the liturgical or everyday clothing, which are true aesthetic manifestations of the ideological discourse of Candombl? and its justice.
