National Umbanda Shrine

Since the dawn of humanity and the first human groupings, man has sought ways to communicate, whether pictorially or verbally. The relationship between man and the divine also dates back to ancient times, seeking the meaning of life. Religions and faith are generally the frameworks that make this connection between man and faith, so symbologies, icons and chants are elements that contribute to making this relationship complete. The National Sanctuary of Umbanda is a place where symbolism is present right from the entrance door and can be revealed in every square metre of the place. Given this, is there a communication process between the devotee and the deities? What are the verbal and non-verbal elements of communication present in this religious environment?
