STORYLINE:
Hundreds of mourners attended the funeral of Evonie Georges Auguste, a prominent Haitian Vodou priestess, in Port-au-Prince on Saturday.
Auguste died on March 23 of unidentified health complications, prompting expressions of mourning from national leaders and members of Haiti's National Conference of Vodouists where she presided as secretary general.
Wearing the traditional purple and white colors of a Vodou funeral, women sang funeral songs to the rhythm of drums.
Vodou practitioners believe that the deceased will be reborn and focus the funeral ceremony, with the use of singing and drums, on helping the deceased make the passing to the after-life.
Vodou high priest Carl-Henry Dermone read the eulogy, praising Auguste for her dedication to Vodou and to Haiti.
The priestess was outspoken on political issues, taking part in meetings held by the Organization of American States and participating in the successful campaign to make Vodou an official religion in Haiti in the early 2000s.
The religion is practiced widely in the country of more than 11 million people.
It was created in the 1500s when African slaves forced to practice Catholicism mixed saints with spirits from African religions.
