Followers of the Virgin of Charity - syncretized in the Yoruba religion with Ochun- take part in a procession in Havana during the Ochun Day celebrations in Cuba, on September 8, 2022. Thousands of Cubans, many dressed in yellow, accompanied “Cachita”, the Virgin of Caridad del Cobre, Cuba's patron saint, on Thursday in the traditional procession in Havana, which returned after two years of pandemic and confinement. But in that time also came the worst economic crisis in three decades, severe shortages, high prices, explosions in hotels and oil depots, long electricity blackouts and many cases of life-threatening dengue fever.
