The Nyau cult is popular and widespread in Mozambique. It is famous for its passionate dancing in ritual masks of spirits and animals. It is believed that participants of the Nyau rituals become vessels for the spirits that they represent. Nyau is a secret society, and new members pass through a ceremony that takes place at the graveyard at night. The practice of talking to the dead is the aspect that scares many people. The cult has existed for more than a thousand years. The origins and main purpose of Nyau are a mystery. Members of the cult are prohibited to share any information.

Catholicism is the official religion of Mozambique. Approximately 24% of the country’s population practices this religion. The share of Muslims is a bit smaller – roughly 20%, and 8% are Protestants.
