Aramis Amaro arranges a figurine of the Indian, a guardian angel for followers of the Afro-Cuban religion, next to Saint Barbara (L) and the Virgin of Copper, which are for sale, outside his house in Rincon on the outskirts of Havana, September 17, 2015. Pope Francis is due for a three-night visit starting on Saturday as Catholicism is flourishing again in the former Spanish colony.
