Yemaya

This statue was brought to us from Brazil. On New Year's eve people dressed in white gather on Copacabana beach to worship this ocean Goddess. They send their wishes out to her on little rafts. If the tide takes their raft to sea, they consider their wish granted. Yemaya is a treasured Orisha (deity) of the Santerian religion. She is the loving mother we can surrender our troubles to.
