Santeria, also known as Lukumi or Regla de Osha, emerged in Cuba during the colonial period as a result of the transatlantic slave trade. Enslaved Yoruba people from West Africa brought their traditional practices, including their mythology, rituals, and spiritual leaders (known as babalorishas or ialorishas). Over time, they incorporated elements of Catholicism, which was the dominant religion of the colonizers, and other African traditions.
