“OneNFTaDay 33 Offerings to Iemanjá - Rio de Janeiro” - The photograph number 33 of the series One NFT a Day was taken on Copacabana Beach during the handing out of offerings to the orixá Iemanjá, commemorating her day, February 2nd. The Queen of the Sea is generous, protects fishermen, watches over love and fertility and knows how to return the gifts offered. Iemanjá is worshipped in both Umbanda and Candomblé, considered to be the mother of almost all the orixás. She is also syncretized in Catholicism as Nossa Senhora do Navegantes, Nossa Senhora de Candeias, Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Nossa Senhora da Piedade and Virgem Maria. The name Yemanjá comes from the African Yoruba language, being the term "Yéyé Omó Ejá", which in a literal translation would be something like "mother whose children are fish". The image is part of the One NFT a Day challenge, a photographic series transformed into NFT. @GambiarraNear @mintbase_ | To see the NFT click on the link in the bio go to MintBase Alexandre Macieira. #OneNFTaDay #OnePHOTOaDay #Iemanja #RiodeJaneiro #NEARProtocol #NearNFT #MintBase #GambiarraNear #NFT #NFTphotographers #Photographers #CleanNFTs #Rio #Brazil #cryptoart #Brasil #NFTphoto #CriptoArte #photography #photograph #photographs #NEAR #NFTs #NFTart #NFTcollector #NFTfoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfnSA9pGeB/?utm_medium=tumblr
