Mwari
Mwari is the Supreme Creator of the Shona and Northern and Southern Ndebele, and is worshiped in the traditional religion. The majority of their followers are concentrated in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Mwari is an omnipotent being, who rules over spirits and is the Supreme God of the religion.〔http://archive.lib.msu.edu/DMC/African%20Journals/pdfs/Journal%20of%20the%20University%20of%20Zimbabwe/vol1n1/juz001001005.pdf〕 Mwari's reverence dates back to the age of the ancient king ''Monomotapa'', of the Mutapa Kingdom on the Zambezi River.〔http://www.nbufront.org/MastersMuseums/JHClarke/HistoricalPersonalities/hp13.html〕
== Etymology ==
The name "''Mwari''" in Shona means "God (Or Jesus - Some kind of creator )".〔http://www.kabalarians.com/Female/mwari.htm〕 The word itself can also be roughly interpreted as "God", but only in the traditional religious context. The furthering of this term's acceptance is when the Christian missionaries were creating a bible for the locals, in which they used the term "Mwari" instead of "God".〔http://books.google.com/books?id=FcahY9z8s9MC&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=mwari+deity&source=bl&ots=qrXDLiwzW_&sig=tNpU_LrBhOj1y-fETwEvkOq2nRE&hl=en&sa=X&ei=pIBuVNiiN4ehyQTr_4LwCg&ved=0CDwQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=mwari%20deity&f=false〕
