Order of Our Lady of the Good Death
The Sisterhood of Our Lady of the Good Death (''Irmandade da Nossa Senhora da Boa Morte'') is a small but renowned Afro-Catholic religious group in the state of Bahia, Brazil.
Founded in the early 19th century as a Church-sponsored beneficent Sisterhood for female African slaves and former slaves, it became one of the oldest and most respected worship groups for Candomblé, the major African-based religion in Brazil. Presently reduced to about thirty members (from 200 or so at its height), most of them over fifty, it still attracts worshipers every year, especially at its August festival.
==History==
The history of the ''Irmandade da Boa Morte'' ("Sisterhood of the Good Death"), a religious confraternity devoted to the Assumption of the Virgin, is part of the history of mass importation of blacks from the African coast to the cane-growing catchment area around the port of Salvador, Bahia, known as the ''Recôncavo Baiano''. Iberian adventurers built several towns in this area, one of them being Cachoeira, which was the second most important economic center in Bahia for three centuries.
