Maison de Candomblé

A Maison de Candomblé is a spiritual center or temple where practitioners of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion, gather for worship, rituals, and community activities. It serves as a sacred space dedicated to honoring and communicating with Orishas—divine entities representing natural forces and ancestors. These temples facilitate ceremonies involving music, dance, offerings, and prayers to maintain spiritual balance, seek guidance, and uphold cultural traditions. The Maison de Candomblé plays a vital role in preserving Afro-Brazilian religious heritage and fostering community cohesion among its practitioners.
