My Free Cuba?

I've been traveling around United States for about 10 years now and there's a lot of people that asked me: -Where are you from? and when I say: -From Cuba....! they stare at me, and asked: -Where is that....!? Also, when an islander live for many years in a big continent, we forget details about the island. So I'll try to give you some info about my Cuba for free, and believe me, I love that word "FREE"...

From the botton of my heart to yours: MY FREE CUBA!!!

12. Religion in Cuba


There are many religions in Cuba but no one predominates, from Christianity to Santeria, with some hints of Buddhist rituals and some Afro Cuban ... for instance, we have only to look at the Virgin of Charity of the El Cobre, adored and worshiped inside and outside the island, for ones is the Holy Mother of Jesus, for others the Orisha Ochun, goddess of love, and for most, Cachita, La Virgen de la Caridad, the patron of Cuba.

Christianity is the religion most practiced, but only about 44 percent of the population adhere to it. Approximately 25 percent of the populations follow different Santeria religions, and a lot have no religion.

They say that Cuba is traditionally a Catholic country, but there are a number of Protestant religions that have their Churches in good condition of conservation, have outreach to the community, and their ranks are growing every day, such as Adventist Church, Baptist Church, Episcopal Church, Methodist, Anglican and Presbyterian Churches, and many other Protestant Denominations.

Here are some interesting links to churches in Cuba:
