The Temple of Pythons
Portrait of the priest of the Temple of Pythons inside the temple (Benin).
The Temple of Pythons is a sacred site deeply connected to the Vodun (Voodoo) religion. It houses dozens of royal pythons, which are considered sacred and symbolize wisdom, fertility, and protection.
For centuries, the temple has played a vital role in local spiritual practices, serving as a place of worship and a connection to ancestral spirits. The python is revered in the region, and believers often visit the temple seeking blessings, guidance, and healing.
Despite modern influences, the traditions surrounding the temple remain strong, highlighting Benin's rich cultural heritage and the enduring presence of Vodun spirituality in West Africa.
