Egungun masks (Benin)
Every year on January, Benin celebrates National Voodoo Day, bringing together thousands to honor this rich spiritual heritage. Voodoo isn’t just a religion, it’s a way of life deeply rooted in history and tradition.
One of the highlight of those celebrations is the Egungun ceremonies.
The Egungun masks, representing the spirits of ancestors who guide and protect their communities. These colorful, intricate costumes aren’t just art. They come alive in rhythmic dances, connecting the past with the present. As they move, the swirling colors symbolize the presence of the spirits among the living, blessing the community with protection and wisdom.
