Mãe-de-santo : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mãe-de-santo
A ''Mãe-de-santo'' ((:ˈmɐ̃ȷ̃ dʒi ˈsɐ̃tu)) is a priestess of Umbanda, Candomblé and Quimbanda, the Afro-Brazilian religions. In Portuguese those words translate as "mother of () saint()", which is an improper translation from the Yoruba language word ''iyalorishá'', a title given to priest women in African religions. ''Iyá'' means mother, and the contraction ''l'Orishá'' means "''of Orishá''". As a product of the syncretism, the word Orishá (elevated or ancestral spirit) was improperly translated into Portuguese as saint. The priestesses ''mães-de-santo'' are more venerated in African-Brazilian religions than the male priests, the ''pais-de-santo''. In the Afro-Brazilian religions the priests are the owners of the tradition, knowledge and culture and the ones responsible to pass it on to the new generations because there are no sacred written books. ==See also==
