Palo (religion)
Palo, also known as Las Reglas de Congo, is a group of closely related religions which developed in the Spanish Empire among Central African slaves who originated in the Congo region. The branches of Palo include ''Mayombe'' (or ''Mallombe''), ''Monte'', ''Briyumba'' (or ''Brillumba''), and ''Kimbisa''.
The word "''palo''" ("stick" in Spanish) was applied to the religion in Cuba due to the use of wooden sticks in the preparation of altars, which were also called "''la Nganga''", "''el caldero''", or "''la prenda''". Priests of Palo are known as "''Paleros''", "''Ngangeros''", or "''Nganguleros''".
==History==
Palo has its roots in the Congo Basin of Central Africa, from where large numbers of Kongo slaves were brought to Cuba where the religion was organized. Palo's liturgical language is a mixture of the Spanish and Kongo languages, known as ''lengua'' or ''habla Congo.''
During the late 18th-19th century, Palo began to spread from Cuba to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and Latino communities in the United States.
