#religions — Public Fediverse posts

“A #Yoruba man travels to #Brazil and encounters a #religion built from traditions that people back home in #Nigeria had learned to distrust.

The experience forces a question: how did Yoruba religion survive the Atlantic but become estranged from the people it came from?
…
“Both #religions were foreign. #Islam arrived earlier, through North African trade and political expansion, and captured my grandparents’ generation. That made them chief imams. #Christianity came through organized missionary infrastructure and later Pentecostal revivalism. That made my parents pastors. What this meant for me was a near-total estrangement from any #indigenous Yoruba #religiousSystem; despite growing up in a Yoruba-majority state in Nigeria, speaking the language fluently and understanding most of its social codes.”

“Now, if Satan controls the world system, like the #news, #media, #politics, #wars and #religions, then we’re being fed nothing but lies. The only things we can trust are the words of God.” Keep this in mind as you weigh in on societal issues. #government

"Gion Matsuri and Japanese Festivals": Cerritos College (Los Angeles) Study Abroad in Kyōto, July 15, 2025

This might be the most gorgeous slideshow you ever see, informative as well about the Gion festival and Kyōto. Japanese festivals are above all presented as Shintō rituals. The Gion Matsuri began in 869 to ward off epidemics, but was ironically canceled during the recent pandemic. Longtime research and insider experiences in Japanese, with guidance by a Gion festival leader, culminate in fascinating information and annotated photos.
