Who is San Lázaro in Santeria?
Saint Lazarus is the patron saint of the sick and the poor forsaken. He is the saint of crutches, who walks withañado by dogs that lick the sores on his legs, so he is also considered a protector of animals.
It is San Lázaro, in syncretism with him Orisha of the Pests of the Yoruba pantheon Babalú Ayé, one of the most powerful cults within the Cuban religious tradition.
Both figures, the saint of Catholicism and the Orisha of the Rule of the Ocha as an African religious expression, converge in a deity to which thousands of Cubans go to fundamentally ask for healing for the body and soul, but also spiritual economic improvements.
Thousands of people arrive every December with offerings, flowers and prayers to the temple located in El Rincón, in the capital's municipality of Boyeros to entertain the saint-orisha and thank him for his blessings.
There they also ask the deity for health and protection, so that it does not allow evil to reach homes.
