Obba Apron

In Santería, the apron with the keel of Obba is a sacred symbol that represents respect, purity, and the connection with the energy of this orisha. It is used as part of the ceremonial attire to honor the ancestors and spiritually protect the devotee, reflecting the virtues of fidelity, love, and sacrifice of Obba Nani. 

• Spiritual Connection: It serves to invoke the energy of Obba, known as the owner of the lagoons and protector of fidelity.
• Identity and Respect: It is an essential element in ceremonies that affirms the practitioner's identity and recognizes the presence of the Orishas.
• Protection: It acts as a spiritual shield, protecting the devotee during rituals.
• Respect for Tradition: As a ritual garment, its use is associated with tradition and the ritual glamour of the Orishas.
