Nana Oyeni Festival

[XXPANTHAXX]

Sunday, June 28, 2009 11am - 2pm

Onipa Abusia will pay homage to the Bosom Nana Oyeni from the Ga region of Ghana, as we close for the ban on drumming.

Oyeni is a deity traditionally worshipped in the Ga region of Ghana, West Africa. She is a deity from the sea and is considered the wife of Nae also from the sea.

Women would give offerings and pray to Oyeni to conceive and bear healthy children. Oyeni is the deity that promotes fertility and domestic tranquility.

ALL are welcome.

Gifts and offerings will be accepted.
