Iemanjá is honoured by African religions near Teresina and along the Piau coast.
Iemanjá Day is being observed at Umbanda and Candomblé residences all around Brazil this Thursday, February 2.
The Southeast Zone of Teresina and Cajueiro da Praia in Piau are where the sons of the mother of the waters pay respect and leave offerings.
The Teresina events take place in Casa de Yemanjá in the Dirceu Arcoverde area.
A parade honouring the orixá will move through the neighborhood's streets beginning at 6 o'clock. Then a celebratory tour is conducted back at the terreiro.
The mother of saint notes that she is the most well-known Orixá in Brazil and is significant to the cults of Umbanda and Candomblé.
