In the Yoruba belief system as practised in TT

In the Yoruba belief system as practised in TT, ancestors are referred to as Egungun. We pay honour and respects through the Egungun masquerade. More than commemoration, this is a highly spiritual practice, requiring the guidance of an Egungun priest to ensure that the correct rituals are observed.
