<p clbad= Tainá Borges at the Iemanjá Festival in Salvador – Photo: Itana Alencar / G1 Bahia [19659024] In the religions of African matrices, Iemanjá is considered the mother of all Orixás. Because of this, many women turn to her to ask and thank her for a peaceful and quiet pregnancy. This is the case of Tainá Borges, pregnant with Cecilia for seven months.

"Today, I have just thanked, thank you for the blessings granted all year, for the open ways, for my daughter, a gift that I have asked with faith and that She gave me, "Tainá Borges said.
