Today is the day Cubans celebrate Babalú Aye, the father of the world. He is represented by the Catholic saint Saint Lazarus.

He is very good about healing miracles, so if you want to ask him for health today is the day, but don’t mess with Babalú Aye, he is powerful and you don’t want to piss him off.
