"THE YORUBA GODDESS ODDUDUA", KNOWN AS THE MOTHER OF ALL THE GODS, IS HONORED ON THIS DAY BY FOLLOWERS OF THE SANTERIA RELIGION IN AFRICA AND SOUTH AMERICA. ODDUDUA," WHO WAS PRIMARILY A MOTHER GODDESS, IS THE SYMBOL AND CREATOR OF THE EARTH. IN" ODDUDUA," WE FIND A CREATIVE FORCE, THE CARING HAND WHO IS TYPICALLY DEPICTED AS A BLACK WOMAN BREASTFEEDING AN INFANT.

IN ONE OF THE LEGENDS CONCERNING "ODDUDUA "HER BROTHER-HUSBAND, ASSUGNED HIS FIRST AND BEST CREATION, "ODDUDUA," TO MAKE A RACE OF PEOPLE OUT OF CLAY TO HELP CARE FOR THE EARTH. UNFORTUNATELY, THE EVIL "OLOSI" CAUSED "ODDUDUA" TO GET DRUNK DURING THE CREATION, WHICH EXPLAINS WHY HUMANS ARE IMPERFECT AND PRONE TO ILLNESS.

SHE IS REPRESENTED IN CATHOLICISM BY "ST. CLARE."
