Orula is syncretized with Saint Francis of Assisi
Also known as "Father Francis"
He stands out as one of the great figures of spirituality
In African syncretism, specifically in Santería (Osha-Ifá) and derived religions, Saint Francis of Assisi is syncretized with Orula (Orunmila), the Yoruba Orisha of wisdom, divination, and destiny, due to his love for creation (animals and nature) and his life of detachment and penance, characteristics that resonate with the figure of this saint, both being celebrated on October 4.
