Saint
Cuban Santería, Haitian Vodou, Brazilian Umbanda and Candomblé, and other similar syncretist religions adopted the Catholic saints, or at least the images of the saints, and applied their own spirits/deities to them.  They are worshiped in churches (where they appear as saints) and in religious festivals, where they appear as the deities.  The name santería was originally a negative term for those whose worship of saints deviated from Catholic norms.
