Voodou Has Been Largely Influenced By Catholicism Thus Incorporating
The Use Of Catholic Holidays As Well As The Worship Of The Saints Anong With Other Usages Of The Emblems Used In Catholicism
But Mainly This Was Used To Hide The Practice Of Voodouism When It Was Not Allowed To Be Used,As There Were Many Years In Which The Practice Of Voodou Was Oppressed.
So The Practice Of Worship Of The Saints Was Integrated To Secretly Be Able To Serve And Honor The Lwa or Loa Which Are The Mysteries Or Voodou Spirits And The Use Of Such Emblems Like The Cross Was Used To Secretly Represent The Crossroads Between The Earthly And Spirit Worlds
Many Voodou Practitioners Were Forced To Become Baptized Catholics
Soon This Was Excepted And Became A Part And A Ritual Aspect Of Voodou For Initiates,The Baptism Soon Had Another Secret Meaning
In That It Represented Death And Rebirth Once This Had Been Done The Initiate Would Become Alive And Awakened in The African Voodou Religion,This Is Much Like Dedicating Yourself To A Goddess Atleast In Representation In The Pagan Faith.
Voodou Practitioners Stayed Strong In Their Voodou Faith Not Losing Themselves In Forced Catholicism The Holidays Of The Catholics Were Incorporated To Disguise The True Voodou Celebrations And Festivals As Well As Many Other Things.
Representing The 21 Divisions In Voodou Which Are 7 Loa In 3 different Categories Or Families
