Worshippers #dance during a #Candomble ceremony honoring goddesses Iemanja and Oxum in #Itaborai, Brazil. Candomble is an Afro-Brazilian religion whose practitioners sometimes fall into trances during ceremonies, believing they have become possessed by gods, or orixas. The roots of the Candomble religion came to #Brazil via African slaves and eventually incorporated some elements of Catholicism. Afro-Brazilian religions generally refer to Iemanja as goddess of the sea and Oxum as goddess of rivers, lakes and waterfalls, or fresh water | December 12, 2015 | 📷: mario_tama #GettyImages #GettyImagesNews
