'''[[Candomblé]]''' is an [[African diaspora religion]] that developed in Brazil during the 19th century. It arose through a process of syncretism between several of the traditional religions of West and Central Africa, especially those of the Yoruba, Bantu, and Gbe, coupled with influences from [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]].
'''[[Trionfi]]''' are 15th-century Italian playing card trumps with allegorical content related to those used in [[tarot]] games. The general English expression "trump card" developed from the Italian "Trionfi." Most cards feature the personification of a place or abstraction.


Candomblé arose in 19th-century Brazil, where the imported traditional African religions of enslaved West Africans had to adapt to a slave colony in which [[Christianity|Roman Catholicism]] was the official religion. It is thus one of several religions that emerged in the Americas through the interaction of West African and Roman Catholic traditions, and for this reason is considered a "sister religion" of [[voodoo|Haitian Vodou]].
''Trionfo'' is an Italian word meaning "triumph," also "triumphal procession", and a triumphal car or float in such a procession. The classical triumphal procession for victorious generals and Emperors known as the Roman Triumph was revived for "Entries" by rulers and similar occasions from the Early Renaissance in 14th and 15th-century Italy, and was a major type of festival, celebrated with great extravagance.
