The Blessed Virgin of Charity--Nuestra Señora de la Caridad del Cobre--is the Catholic Patronness of Cuba. No matter how light-skinned her image might look, she is not seen as white but as of mixed European and African descent (mulata); Cubans call her “La Cachita.” In Lucumí (popularly known as “Santería”), she corresponds to Ochún, the goddess (orisha) of sensuality, prosperity, intelligence, sweetness, and fresh water. She is the mother of twins.

In the New World, orishas came to be paired with Roman Catholic saints or Marian apparitions, and their icons continue to represent the spirits on household altars and elsewhere. Although the everyday elevation of the mulatta over other women of African descent was anything but colorblind, the caramel-complexioned Virgin of Charity connected with Ochún the everyday elevation of the mulatta over other women of African descent. 

Ironically, the youthful and attractive Virgin’s correspondence with Ochún in popular culture reinforced the stereotype of this orisha as a one-dimensional coquette. As if in response to the limitations foisted on her—as onto other women of African descent—[Lucumí] divination verses and praise-songs paint a vibrant picture of Ochún as wizened medicine woman, affluent matron, talented diviner, weaver, potter, and merchant, with a vulture as her fearless, carrion-eating familiar.
