Haiti: People Turn to Voodoo as Gang Violence Intensifies | Firstpost America
Thousands of Haitians have started offering food and prayers to Voodoo spirits in hopes that they would make it through Haiti's deepening crisis. Once shunned by politicians and intellectuals for centuries, Voodoo is becoming a more powerful and accepted religion across Haiti. People are seeking solace and protection from violent gangs that have killed, sexually assaulted and kidnapped thousands in recent years. Haitians in growing numbers are visiting Voodoo priests with urgent requests ranging from locating loved ones who were kidnapped to finding critical medication to save lives. It's unknown how many people currently practice Voodoo in Haiti, but a popular saying goes, "Haiti is 70% Catholic, 30% Protestant and 100% Voodoo."
