Apron 2 waters Yemaya and Oshun

In Santería (the Orisha religion), the apron and quilla (headscarf) dedicated to the "Two Waters" or specifically to orishas such as Yemayá and Oshún serve primarily as garments of respect, protection, and divine connection during ritual ceremonies. When "Two Waters" is mentioned, it generally refers to the union of the energies of Yemayá (the sea) and Oshún (rivers), representing the unconditional protection of both over the initiate, and is often worn by their children or during spiritual masses.

• Spiritual Protection: It acts as a shield against negative energies, burdens, or outside influences during masses, prayers, or religious workings.
• Respect and Purity: It symbolizes cleanliness and order in the ritual space. Covering the body with this attire indicates a state of contemplation and reverence before the orishas.
• Ritual Identity: It allows the identification of the person's hierarchy or saint, especially for initiates (iyawós) or santeros who worship the union of the waters.
• Connection with the Orisha: The apron and quilla set, often in blue (Yemayá) and yellow/white (Oshún), helps to attract the specific energy of these deities to work on fertility, purification, and maternity.
