title: SAINT SEBASTIAN MARTIRE

subject date: 2008-12-16

caption: SAN SEBASTIANO The saint is depicted tied to a tree, pierced by three arrows: two in the chest and one in the leg. This representation is also adopted by the syncretic cult since the Voudun came into contact with the Christian religion practiced by the European settlers who had imported it into the Caribbean. The contamination between the two religions soon led to the assimilation of the Voudun idols with the fundamental figures of Christianity. Grans Bwa (Bran Bwa, Ganga-Bois) divinity (Loa or Lwa) was assimilated to the figure of Saint Sebastian Chromolithographic image, Milan 1913
