 * Another large religion in Cuba is Santeria. Santería is a blend of Catholicism and traditional Yoruba religions.
 * It's primarily a christian country.
 * Some Catholic traditions were lost, but the church has imported the Mexican Christmas play (pastorela) trying to reconnect Cubans to Christianity.
 * Those who practiced Santería often resorted to secrecy as a way to avoid persecution.
 * They thought that whoever practiced Santeria was a witch or using black magic.
 * Then some founders of the Afro-cuban studies gave scholarly attention to Santería as an important religion in Cuba.
 * They helped us realize that christianity should be practiced freely.
 * When African slaves first arrived in Cuba during the 16th century, they were taught a few simple prayers and were baptised by the Spanish. The slaves combined this limited form of Catholicism with their traditional religions to create Santería, which survives to this day.
 * When they speak to elders they talk more formally out of respect.
 * They shake hands to say hello and goodbye.
 * It's also common for both men and women to greet friends and family with a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
 * They address strangers and elders differently than family and friends.
