Description
Maman Brijit means "Momma Brijit", and She is said to especially protect those graves marked with a cross. Vodou has elements of both original African religion and the Christianity that was overlaid onto it in the New World. Thus the cross in Vodou not only recalls Jesus, but was already a fundamental symbol of the crossroads.Related content

Interesting work with a nice historical background to it. I'm always fascinated by various bits of cultural assimilation... for some reason it always seems 'better' in some undefined way than when a piece of culture is just overwritten.
Oddly enough, I think the best part of this work has to be the feet. From talking with other artists, I've heard that correct-looking feet are really difficult to draw. As a result, I'm always impressed when I see well-drawn feet.
