He represents male beauty and virility, passion and power. His colors are red and white, and his eleke (sacred necklace) is made of alternating red and white beads. His number is 6, and his day of the week is Friday and the 4th day of every month. He's syncretized with Santa Barbara because she's portrayed in Catholic lore as a fiercely independent and brave young woman, dressed usually in a red and white costume, holding a sword and wearing a crown-like \u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e. The feast day for \u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e\/ Santa Barbara is December 4, one of the most important festival days in Cuba. In a way, it's surprising that such a powerful masculine Orisha is syncretized with a female saint, but there are underlying similarities between their stories. For example, Santa Barbara's torturer was struck down by a lightening bolt, which is \u003cb\u003eShango's\u003c\/b\u003e favorite weapon. And according to a patakÌ_ (sacred story) about \u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e, one time he had to dress in women's clothes (lent to him by Oya) in order to escape undetected from his enemies. Santa Barbara's association with \u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e shows that females and males alike can wield Shango's power. Both male and female initiates can be crowned with \u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e, making him their father in the religion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eShango\u003c\/b\u003e likes bananas, okra, red palm oil, and \u003cem\u003eAmal  \u003c\/em\u003e(cornmeal dumplings). He usually wears red satin pants and a red shirt with white trim; on his head, he wears a crown. He lives in a wooden \u003cem\u003ebatea \u003c\/em\u003e(shallow bowl with lid), sometimes placed on a wooden \u003cem\u003epill \u003c\/em\u003e(pedestal). He protects against burns and death by fire. \u003cb\u003eShango's\u003c\/b\u003e symbol is the double-headed ax, which represents swift justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe will dress and bless your \u003cstrong\u003eShango 7 Day Fixed Candle\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etherapeutic grade essential and condition \u003c\/span\u003eoils, organic herbs, high quality minerals, and a powerful intention prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach candle is custom made and takes time to prepare.
