The Virgin of Regla is worshipped by many Cubans both Catholic and believers in Afro-Cuban religions, who associate her to Yemayá, the Yoruba deity mother of the main orishas; She is the Mother of Waters for Paleros and Okandé for the Abakuás. Each year a procession takes place on September the 8th.
